Which protocol provides users with information on networking addresses?

The correct choice is DNS, which stands for Domain Name System. DNS is a fundamental protocol used in the internet and networking that translates human-friendly domain names (like www.example.com) into IP addresses, which are numerical labels assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. This translation allows users to access websites or resources using easy-to-remember names instead of complex numerical addresses.

In addition, DNS also provides information about various network-related data, including the mapping of domain names to various types of data records (like A records for addresses, MX records for mail servers, etc.), making it essential for navigating and accessing the vast resources of the internet seamlessly.

While DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automates the assignment of IP addresses to devices on a network, it does not provide users with information in the way DNS does, particularly regarding domain name resolutions. The other options, DML (Data Manipulation Language) and DLP (Data Loss Prevention), are not protocols used for networking addresses and instead pertain to database management and data security, respectively. Thus, DNS is the protocol specifically designed to offer users vital information regarding networking addresses.
