-
B.
Domain Name System
The Domain Name System (DNS) is the hierarchical, distributed naming infrastructure of the internet that translates human-readable domain names into numerical IP addresses used by computers.
-
C.
RFC 1035
RFC 1035 is an Internet standards document that defines the implementation details, message formats, and operational procedures for the Domain Name System (DNS).
-
D.
OpenDNS
OpenDNS is a cloud-delivered DNS and security service provider known for web filtering, phishing protection, and enterprise network security solutions.
-
E.
SSL
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide secure, encrypted communication over a computer network, commonly used to protect data transmitted between clients and servers.
- F. None of above. chosen

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: DNSSEC Description of subject: DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions) is a suite of specifications that adds cryptographic authentication and integrity protection to DNS data to prevent attacks such as cache poisoning and spoofing.
