Why each option
DHCP is the correct service for dynamically assigning IP addresses to guests within subnets in a private cloud environment, as it automates address allocation without requiring manual static configuration.
DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses to guest VMs from administrator-defined address pools scoped to each subnet, making it the appropriate mechanism for automating IP assignment in a private cloud test environment. DHCP scopes can be configured per subnet to control the range of addresses handed out, and the service eliminates the overhead of static IP management across many transient test guests.
Subnetting defines address ranges and divides a network into segments, but it is not a mechanism for assigning individual IP addresses to hosts.
VLANs operate at Layer 2 to segment broadcast domains but have no role in assigning Layer 3 IP addresses to guests.
A gateway is the Layer 3 device that routes traffic between subnets and to external networks, not a service that assigns IP addresses to hosts.
