Which one of the following protocols is NOT used to resolve one form of address to another one?

  • ADNS
  • BARP
  • DHCP
  • DRARP

Explanation

DNS resolves domain names to IP addresses, ARP resolves IP to MAC addresses, and RARP resolves MAC to IP addresses — all are address-resolution protocols. DHCP instead dynamically ASSIGNS/leases addresses; it doesn't resolve one existing address form into another.
