Distributes incoming client traffic across multiple targets such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses is correct because Elastic Load Balancing distributes client requests across registered targets to improve availability and scalability.

Elastic Load Balancing performs health checks on targets and routes traffic only to healthy endpoints across multiple Availability Zones which increases resilience and helps applications handle variable load.

Automatically scales the fleet of Amazon EC2 instances to meet fluctuating demand is incorrect because that capability belongs to EC2 Auto Scaling which adjusts instance count based on scaling policies and not to the load balancer.

Provides a dedicated private network connection from an on-premises facility to AWS without traversing the public internet is incorrect because that describes AWS Direct Connect which provides private connectivity and does not distribute application traffic.

Offers a highly available and scalable Domain Name System service is incorrect because that refers to Amazon Route 53 which handles DNS resolution and does not itself balance traffic across application targets.
