Question 20

+1 markOne correct option

A developer binds a laptop service to 0.0.0.0, but it remains inaccessible from the public internet. Which explanation is correct?

  1. A

    Binding to 0.0.0.0 gives the service DNS, a public route, open firewall access, and a trusted TLS certificate.

  2. B

    Binding to 0.0.0.0 assigns a permanent public address that bypasses routers, firewalls, and network address translation.

  3. C

    Binding listens on local interfaces; public access still needs routing, firewall permission, and often DNS and TLS.

  4. D

    Binding to 0.0.0.0 restricts the service to its own process and blocks every local or internet client.
