Why each option

This question asks to identify the server type responsible for automatically assigning unique network addresses to client machines.

AWINS

WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) maps NetBIOS names to IP addresses, primarily for legacy Windows networking, and does not assign IP addresses.

BDHCPCorrect

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) servers are designed to dynamically assign IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways, and other network configuration parameters to client devices. This automated process ensures each client has a unique and valid network address for communication, simplifying network administration and preventing IP address conflicts.

CNTP

NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers synchronize the clocks of computers in a network and do not assign IP addresses.

DDNS

DNS (Domain Name System) servers resolve human-readable domain names to IP addresses and vice versa, but do not assign IP addresses to clients.
