Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
Rename-ItemProperty
The Rename-ItemProperty cmdlet changes the name of a specified item property. The value of the property is not changed. For example, you can use Rename-ItemProperty to change the name of a registry entry.
Rename-SPServer
The Rename-SPServer cmdlet changes the name of the server for internal use within SharePoint 2010 Products. The server itself must be manually renamed.

Renameserver: Stsadm operation
Changes the name of the specified server in the configuration database.
This operation is used before or after a server is renamed in the domain to avoid having to rebuild the server or farm.

Alternate access mappings
Alternate access mappings enable a Web application that receives a request for an internal URL, in one of the five authentication zones, to return pages that contain links to the public URL for the zone. You can associate a Web application with a collection of mappings between internal and public URLs http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc261814(v=office.12).aspx
