Explanation

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.

Common mistakes.

D. 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.
