Final answer:

TLDs have different purposes based on their type, and PTI manages root DNS and coordinates the assignment of TLDs.

Step-by-step explanation:

TLDs, or Top-Level Domains, serve different purposes depending on their type. Some common generic TLDs and their purposes are:

  • .com: typically used for commercial websites
  • .org: typically used for non-profit organizations
  • .edu: typically used by educational institutions

PTI, or Public Technical Identifiers, is responsible for managing the root DNS infrastructure and coordinating the assignment of TLDs.

Therefore, the correct answer is: TLDs signify content type, PTI manages root DNS (Option c).
