Why each option
A DHCP server is responsible for automatically assigning IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to hosts on a network.
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server is a network server that automatically provides and assigns IP addresses, default gateways, subnet masks, and other network configuration details to client devices. This automates the process of network setup for new hosts.
NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers are used to synchronize the clocks of computer systems across a network, not to assign IP addresses.
DNS (Domain Name System) servers resolve human-readable hostnames to IP addresses, but they do not assign IP addresses to hosts.
SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol used for secure remote command-line access, file transfer, and tunneling, not for IP address assignment.
