A. B. C. D. E.

B.

The correct answer is B. LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol).

LDAP is a directory service protocol used for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network. LDAP is used for authentication and authorization, as well as for storing and retrieving information about network resources, such as users, groups, computers, printers, and applications.

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is an email protocol used for retrieving email messages from a mail server. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for secure file transfers over a network. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol used for assigning IP addresses to devices on a network. DNS (Domain Name System) is a protocol used for translating domain names into IP addresses.

None of these protocols provide directory services like LDAP does. Therefore, option B (LDAP) is the correct answer.
