My money's on C. Who needs DNS these days anyway? We should just use IP addresses for everything. #TotallyNotANetworkAdmin

This is too easy. It's obviously C. I'm surprised they even included the other options. DNS is the culprit here.

Yeah, DNS entry not available for the host name is the most likely cause.

D, all the way. The web server is probably down for maintenance or something. That's the most likely cause.

It's possible, but usually if the server is offline, you would get a different error message. So, I still think the DNS entry not being available is the most likely cause.
