Explanation
Answer - A - To be able to fix the problem where you can access a server by its IP address, but not by its domain name, you need to configure a HOSTS file.

Key Takeaway: The hosts file is a computer file used by an operating system to map hostnames to IP addresses. This method is one of several methods used by an operating system to locate network nodes on a computer network. It consists of lines of an IP address and one or more hostnames, separated by white space. Comment lines in the hosts file start with the '#' character.
