10. Describe the -4 and -6 options for both the ping and host commands, and how they influence the information retrieval process in the context of IPv4 and IPv6.
using -4 & -6 with ping returns the echo messages with IPv4 address & IPv6 address respectively, whereas host command with -4 & -6 returns the information via IPv4 or IPv6, but beacuse that information should be same regardless of the network protocol, the output will potentially include both IPv4 & IPv6.
The -4 and -6 options in the ping command determine whether to use IPv4 or IPv6 for echo messages. In the host command, they indicate a preference for IPv4 or IPv6, but the output may include both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, reflecting the available information regardless of the specified protocol.
