What is the primary role of the Domain Name System (DNS) in networking?
Routers use it to decide the best path for data packets.
It encrypts data for secure communication between devices.
It translates domain names into IP addresses.
It provides a protocol for remote control of devices over a network.
The correct option explains that DNS is responsible for translating human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into machine-readable IP addresses (like 93.184.216.34). When you type a website's domain name into your browser, DNS servers find the corresponding IP address so your computer can connect to the website.
The other options describe different networking functions. Directing traffic based on the best path is a primary function of a router. Encrypting data is handled by security protocols like TLS/SSL. Providing a protocol for remote device control is done by services like SSH or RDP.
