Which are the two ways to resolve computer names to IP addresses?

DNS and HOSTS file

WINS and LMHOSTS file

Both options A and C are incorrect because they list one correct and one incorrect way to resolve computer names to IP addresses. The HOSTS file is used to resolve computer names to IP addresses for small networks, but it cannot be used for larger networks. WINS is used for resolving computer names to IP addresses in Windows environments, but it does not work for other operating systems.
