Incorrect Answers:
A: Traceroute is used to identify the hops to a target host, and is used for mapping the structure of the network. It does not interface with DNS to acquire zone transfers.
B: A ping scanner is used to identify IP addresses in a network. It may locate a DNS server, but it can’t obtain the zone files.
D: The host command is used to get host information, and can get the host by IP address or Host name, and convert host name to IP address and reverse.
