Which address translation scheme would allow a single public IP address to always correspond to...

The correct answer is A, Static Network Address Translation. Static NAT creates a fixed one-to-one mapping between a public IP address and a specific private/internal IP address. This is the correct choice when an internal server must be reachable from outside the network using the same public address every time, which is commonly called server publishing or exposing a service through a firewall/router. CEH networking material explains that NAT is used at network borders and that basic NAT provides one-to-one mapping where each internal private IP maps to a unique public address; return traffic is translated back to the corresponding internal host. NAT also hides internal addressing while rerouting externally addressed packets to the proper internal system. Port Address Translation or NAT overload is different because many internal hosts share one public IP using ports/session IDs, so it does not guarantee one public IP always maps to one internal machine. Therefore, static NAT is the best answer.
