Explanation
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the core service installed when a server is assigned the mail server role, because SMTP is the protocol responsible for sending and routing email messages between mail servers (port 25) and from mail clients to servers (ports 587/465). The other options are unrelated to mail server functionality: SNMP (A) is for network device management, TCP (C) is a foundational transport-layer protocol already present on all networked hosts (not a role-specific service), DHCP (D) is for dynamic IP address assignment, and SFTP (E) is a secure file transfer protocol with no mail function.
