Which of the following is an example of a DHCP option that a DHCP server can assign to a client along with its IP address?

Operating system version running on client machineOperating system version is not a DHCP option; DHCP configures network parameters, not OS metadata.
Router option specifying the default gateway addressCorrect · your answerCorrect: this is one of the named DHCP option examples supplied with a lease.
Processor architecture of the connecting client deviceProcessor architecture is not part of the TCP/IP configuration information a DHCP server distributes.
