NNTP is a protocol used for?

  1. Remote management of a device

  2. Resolving IP to MAC address

  3. Transferring articles between news servers and news clients

  4. Converting FQDNs to IPs

The correct answer is: Transferring articles between news servers and news clients

NNTP is a protocol used specifically for transferring articles between news servers and news clients and nothing else. Option A is incorrect because remote management of a device is typically done through protocols such as SSH or Telnet. Option B is incorrect because converting IP addresses to MAC addresses is done through protocols such as ARP. Option D is incorrect because resolving FQDNs to IPs is done through protocols such as DNS.
