I think that B is correct. You must understand two types of methods to use New-NetIPAddress cmdlet. First, to communicate between virtual network and virtual network adapter. (*1) Second, to communicate between physical network and physical network adapter.(*2)(*3) The B is based on the second method. more C (Set-NetAdapter) can't set IP address.(*4) (*1)https://www.vembu.com/blog/hyper-v-virtual-switch-using-nat-setup/ (*2)https://mcpmag.com/articles/2018/02/28/set-ip-address-with-powershell.aspx (*3)https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/nettcpip/new-netipaddress?view=win10-ps (*4)https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/netadapter/set-netadapter?view=win10-ps

B) "If you run this cmdlet to add an IP address to an interface on which DHCP is already enabled, then DHCP is automatically disabled" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/nettcpip/new-netipaddress?view=win10-ps
