Well, the ones in resolv.conf.d are what get copied to resolv.conf during 
startup.

To prove that, change resolv.conf to say one thing, and change the base (or 
head, or tail, whichever it is that has the ‘do not edit’ message) to say 
something else, and reboot.

The changes you made to base should show up in resolv.conf, and whatever you 
put into resolv.conf should be gone without a trace ;-)

I’m using this on one of my computers to make sure that resolv.conf gets set 
right…

(None of what I say on PLUG list is official SmartH anything, ever.  In case 
you were confused ;-)

I looked into the file (as suggested) and it says not to edit manually.

On my Linux boxes (Linux Mint), there is /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d dir 
which has 3 files:  base, head, tail.

Put ‘nameserver 8.8.8.8’ into base (or tail) and it should always get added to 
resolv.conf every reboot.  (You might look at all 3 files, my favourite trick 
for this is:

more /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/*|less

and see what’s in them before you start.)
