Explanation:

You are correct that an A record typically points to an IP address. However, in the case of an Application Load Balancer (ALB), you cannot use an A record with an IP address because the IP addresses of an ALB can change over time. Instead, you can use an alias record to point to the DNS name of the ALB. An alias record is a Route 53 extension to DNS that allows you to route traffic to selected AWS resources, such as an ALB, by using a friendly DNS name, such as example.com, instead of the resource's IP address or DNS name.
