Explanation

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on the network, fulfilling the automatic distribution requirement. A default gateway is required for devices to route traffic outside their local subnet - without it, internet access is impossible. APIPA (B) only activates when DHCP fails and uses non-routable addresses. VPN (C) is for remote access. Public IPs (D) and static IPs (F) require manual configuration, which contradicts the 'automatic' requirement.
