DNS records are used to map domain names to IP addresses. The following DNS record types hold an IP address: A Record: An A record maps a domain name to an IPv4 address. It is one of the most basic and commonly used DNS record types. AAAA Record: An AAAA record maps a domain name to an IPv6 address. It is similar to an A record, but it holds IPv6 addresses instead of IPv4 addresses. Therefore, the correct answers are D and B.
