C. "List of names and ip#s in file on the computer" is a hosts file. The next step up is DNS. Using a DHCP doesn't do -anything- without having a DNS for it to talk to.

C. DNS Domain Name System (DNS) is the best solution to configure a server's networking information so that a list of names and IP addresses will no longer need to be maintained in a file on the server. DNS is a distributed system that translates domain names to IP addresses and vice versa. By using DNS, servers can be identified by their domain names instead of their IP addresses, and the IP addresses can be managed by the DNS server. DHCP can assign IP addresses to servers dynamically, but it does not eliminate the need for maintaining a list of names and IP addresses. A hosts file can be used to map names to IP addresses, but it needs to be maintained manually on each server. VLAN is a technology used to separate traffic on a network, but it is not related to managing server names and IP addresses.

So sad. If they had just left out the reference to names, the DHCP answer would have won. Once you map IP addresses to names in a table, it's all over. DNS wins.
