Explanation

A DHCP reservation ties a specific IP address to a device's MAC address within the DHCP server, ensuring that device always receives the same IP. Network printers are the canonical use case because users and print servers must know the printer's IP address at all times to send jobs - if the IP changed, configured print queues would break. Printers are also infrastructure devices that benefit from centralized IP management (DHCP) rather than manual static IP configuration at the device. Smart TVs and mobile devices (Options A and B) typically roam and don't require a fixed IP. Workstations (Option C) can usually function with dynamic IPs unless they host shared services, making them a less typical reservation target than a shared network printer.
