A Correct answer
Explanation

The /etc/resolv.conf file stores DNS nameserver IP addresses (e.g., 'nameserver 8.8.8.8'), not hostnames. This is the correct answer for what resides in resolv.conf.

AI explanation

/etc/resolv.conf holds resolver configuration used for DNS lookups: primarily the nameserver directive(s) giving the IP address(es) of name servers to query, plus optional domain and search suffix lists. It does not store the local machine's host name (that lives in /etc/hostname), so 'ip address' is the correct answer, not 'host name'.
