Why each option
To automatically assign IP addresses on a network, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service must be configured.
WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses, which is different from automatically assigning IP addresses.
DNS (Domain Name System) resolves domain names to IP addresses and vice-versa, but it does not assign IP addresses to devices.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network management protocol used on Internet Protocol (IP) networks for dynamically distributing network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateway information, to client devices.
NTP (Network Time Protocol) is used for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over a network, not for IP address assignment.
