Which four parameters are set in order for name resolution using lmhosts, wins, broadcast, and DNS lookup?

To configure name resolution in a system where multiple methods are available, the order of parameters is crucial in determining how names will be resolved. The correct answer sets the parameters to prioritize name resolution methods effectively.

The chosen option, which includes "lmhosts," "wins," "bcast," and "host," outlines a sequence that first attempts to resolve names through the lmhosts file, which is a local file on the system providing static mappings of hostnames and IP addresses. If the resolution fails with lmhosts, the system then queries the WINS server for Windows Internet Name Service, which is useful in environments where Windows networking is prevalent. Following that, it attempts to resolve names through broadcast (bcast), a method that allows the system to send out a request to all devices on the local network to respond with their identifier if they recognize the hostname. Lastly, if none of these methods are successful, the system resorts to the traditional host file and DNS resolution.

In contrast, the other options do not maintain this effective order of resolution, which could lead to unnecessary delays or failures in hostname resolution. By prioritizing the methods properly as depicted in the correct answer, it ensures a more efficient and reliable name resolution process, allowing systems to resolve hostnames as
