A. B. C. D.C.
The correct answer to this question is C. DHCP.
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a network protocol that enables a server to automatically assign IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to devices on the network. This is particularly useful in large networks where manually assigning IP addresses would be time-consuming and error-prone.
When a device (such as a computer or smartphone) connects to the network, it sends out a DHCP request to the DHCP server. The DHCP server then responds with an available IP address and other network configuration information such as the subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server addresses. The device can then use this information to communicate on the network.
The other answer choices are:
A. RAS (Remote Access Service) is a Microsoft technology that allows remote users to access a server or network. It is not used for assigning IP addresses.
B. DNS (Domain Name System) is a network protocol that resolves domain names to IP addresses. It is not used for assigning IP addresses.
D. WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) is a legacy Microsoft technology that resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses. It is not used for assigning IP addresses.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. DHCP.
