A
IP address, domains.
B
domains, IP addresses
C
IP addresses, protocols
D
protocols, domains
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Internet’s DNS system works much like a phone book by managing the mapping between names and numbers. DNS servers translate requests for names into IP addresses, controlling which server an end user will reach when they type a domain name into their web browser. These requests are called queries.

Detailed explanation-2: -The domain name system, or DNS, is a global system responsible for mapping human-readable hostnames to their corresponding Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. For example, if you want to access a website using a domain name like example.com, that domain name must point to a valid IP address.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Domain Name System (DNS) turns domain names into IP addresses, which browsers use to load internet pages. Every device connected to the internet has its own IP address, which is used by other devices to locate the device.
