Which protocol is used to convert domain names like 'google.com' into IP addresses?

  1. HTTP
  2. FTP
  3. DNS
  4. SMTP

Answer: DNS

DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names into numerical IP addresses that computers use to identify each other on the network. Without DNS, users would need to remember IP addresses like 142.250.189.206.
