E.
None of the above
Explanation:
To ensure the automated deployment of the new servers in minimum hardware cost in the given scenario, you need to deploy Windows Deployment Services (WDS) on the DHCP server.
You must have a working DHCP server with an active scope on the network because Windows Deployment Services uses PXE, which relies on DHCP for IP addressingReference: Installing Windows Deployment Services http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771670.aspx
