Correct Answer: (ii) DNS resolver

Explanation:

  • A DNS client is known as a DNS Resolver (or stub resolver).
  • It runs on client operating systems and applications (e.g., web browsers) to initiate DNS queries, contacting local recursive DNS servers to resolve human-readable domain names (e.g., www.example.com) into IP addresses (e.g., 93.184.216.34).
