Which term is created and configured by administrators?

• A. Static records
• B. PREP
• C. ACE
• D. PLY

Answer: (A)

Think of entries that a system administrator deliberately creates and maintains to ensure predictable behavior. Static records are exactly that: entries manually created and configured by an administrator, and they stay the same until someone edits them. This is the essence of why they’re described as static—they aren’t automatically generated or updated by a service. In contrast, dynamic records are produced and refreshed by systems like DHCP or dynamic DNS, which automate changes without direct admin editing. So the term that fits best is the one that captures manual, administrator-driven configuration of fixed entries. The other terms don’t represent this common admin-controlled, fixed-entry concept in the same way.
