.AAAA record is used to find the IP address of a computer connected to the internet from a name. .CNAME record is a type of DNS record that maps an alias name to a true or canonical domain name. .MX record specifies the mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain name. .SOA record is a type of resource record in the DNS containing administrative information about the zone.

Selected Answer: B
A CNAME record stands for "canonical name" record and is used to create an alias from one domain name to another domain name. It is commonly used when a domain owner wants a domain name to point to another domain name, instead of directly pointing to an IP address.
