  Domain name service (DNS)query
- C.
  
  Recursive query
- D.
  
  Non-recursive query
Correct Answer
D. Non-recursive query

Explanation
A non-recursive query is made by one name server to another name server. In a non-recursive query, the requesting name server asks the other name server for the best answer it can provide without further querying other name servers. This means that if the queried name server does not have the requested information, it will simply return a referral to the requesting name server, rather than attempting to find the answer itself.

Which software program manages an IP address allocation for a network?
- A.
  
  Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)
- B.
  
  Domain name service (DNS)
- C.
  
  Active directory (AD)
- D.
  
  DHCP server
Correct Answer
A. Dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)

Explanation
DHCP is a network protocol that dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network. It manages the allocation of IP addresses to ensure that each device on the network has a unique address. This allows for efficient use of IP addresses and simplifies network administration. DHCP also provides other configuration information, such as subnet mask and default gateway, to the devices on the network. Therefore, DHCP is the software program that manages IP address allocation for a network.

The group of IP addresses that a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server manages is known as a
- A.
  
  Pool
- B.
  
  Range
- C.
  
  Scope
- D.
  
  Zone
Correct Answer
C. Scope

Explanation
A DHCP server manages a group of IP addresses called a "scope." This scope defines the range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can assign to client devices on a network. It includes the starting and ending IP addresses within the range. The DHCP server dynamically assigns IP addresses from this scope to client devices as they connect to the network, ensuring that each device has a unique IP address. Therefore, the correct answer is "Scope."

What is the minimum number of scopes a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server can have?
- A.
  
  One
- B.
  
  Two
- C.
  
  Three
- D.
  
  Five
Correct Answer
A. One

Explanation
A DHCP server can have a minimum of one scope. A scope is a range of IP addresses that the DHCP server can assign to clients on a network. By having at least one scope, the DHCP server can assign IP addresses to devices that connect to the network, allowing them to communicate and access network resources. Therefore, having a minimum of one scope is essential for the DHCP server to function properly.

- A.
  
  Rights
- B.
  
  Permissions
- C.
  
  Access control lists
- D.
  
  Hardware configuration
Correct Answer
B. Permissions

Explanation
Permissions define the rules by which operations can be performed on a particular resource. They determine what actions a user or group can take on a resource, such as read, write, execute, or delete. Permissions are typically set by the system administrator or owner of the resource and help to ensure that only authorized individuals can access or modify it. Access control lists and rights are related concepts that can also play a role in defining these rules, but the most direct and specific term for this is permissions. Hardware configuration, on the other hand, refers to the physical setup and settings of computer hardware and is not directly related to defining rules for resource operations.
