3.B, C, D, A, E
4.C, A, D, B, E✓ Correct
Solution
The correct answer is Option 4
Key Points
Step 1: The user enters a URL in the browser. For example, "www.example.com." This is the starting point of the process.
Step 2: The browser performs DNS resolution to convert the domain name (e.g., "www.example.com") into its corresponding IP address. DNS servers are queried to find this information.
Step 3: The IP address is obtained, and the browser uses it to locate the server hosting the website.
Step 4: The browser sends an HTTP request to the server using the obtained IP address, requesting resources such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.
Step 5: The server responds with the requested resources, and the browser processes them to display the webpage to the user.
Additional Information
DNS Resolution: DNS (Domain Name System) converts human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses.
HTTP Request: Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is used to communicate between the browser and the server.
Webpage Display: Once the resources are loaded, the browser renders the webpage for the user.
Hence, the correct sequence is:Option 4: C, A, D, B, E
