Wait, wait, wait... C) remote? Is that for when your local DNS server is on the moon or something? I bet the correct answers are B) dns and E) hosts, unless you want to try your luck with the intergalactic name service.

Hmm, C) remote? That's a new one to me. Maybe it's for when you want to look up host names on a distant planet or something. I'll stick with B) dns and E) hosts as my final answer.

I'm feeling a bit like a detective trying to solve a mystery here. But I'm pretty sure the answer is B) dns and E) hosts. Those are the classic go-to sources for host name resolution, right?

A) resolve? Really? That sounds more like a command than a configuration option. I'm going with B) dns and D) files - those seem like the most logical choices to me.

Hmm, let's see, I think B) dns and E) hosts are the correct answers here. The /etc/nsswitch.conf file is used to configure name service sources, and those two options seem like they would make sense for host name lookups.
