Which are the two ways to resolve FQDNs to IP addresses?

DNS and HOSTS file
WINS and DNS
LMHOSTS file and DNS
HOSTS file and LMHOSTS file

The correct answer is: DNS and HOSTS file

FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) refers to a complete website address that includes both the host and domain name. In order to resolve an FQDN to an IP address, there are two primary methods DNS and HOSTS file. The other options listed may be used for various network functions, but they are not specifically designed for resolving FQDNs to IP addresses. WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) is Microsoft's legacy system for resolving NetBIOS names, while LMHOSTS (LAN Manager Hosts) is used for NetBIOS name resolution in older versions of Microsoft Windows. These options are not used for resolving FQDNs. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
