Selected Answer: B
If no DHCP server is running yet, the laptop will be assigned a self-assigned IP address in the Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) range. The APIPA range is 169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254. Therefore, the correct answer is B. 169.254.1.128.

Selected Answer: B
It should be B. The question states that there are no services running, which means there is no DHCP server available for the DHCP client to reach. In this case the device will be assigned an APIPA address. Though I forget the exact range, I remember the first octet because its 169 because 69.

Yes but APIPA then ASSUMES you're already using a Windows system. What if the laptop was running Linux or MacOS?

It depends on how the DHCP server is configured. Without additional information, it is impossible to determine which IP address will be assigned to the laptop.
