What is the purpose of the Listen directive in Apache configuration?

It sets the maximum number of simultaneous connections Apache can handle.

It defines the directory from which Apache serves web content.

It specifies the IP address and port on which Apache listens for incoming connections.

It enables or disables specific Apache modules.

A hosting company runs a single Apache instance on a server with one public IP address. They need to host two distinct websites, each with its own domain name and document root, on this server. The administrator has already created the directory structure and placed the content for both sites. What is the minimum configuration required to serve both websites correctly?

Configure two IP-based virtual hosts, each bound to a different IP address on the server.

Configure two name-based virtual hosts using the directive, each with a distinct ServerName and DocumentRoot.

Configure two blocks, each pointing to a different document root, and rely on the default server to route requests.

Configure a single block that contains both ServerName directives and both DocumentRoot directives.
