Selected Answer: A

A. Modifying the MAC used on the DHCP reservation When a server is configured to obtain its IP address dynamically via DHCP but requires a specific IP address, DHCP reservations are typically used. A DHCP reservation binds a specific IP address to the MAC address of the server's network interface card (NIC), ensuring that the server consistently receives the same IP address from the DHCP server.
