If Windows 10 is unable to contact a DHCP server, it will use Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) to assign itself a unique IP address within the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. This address will allow the computer to communicate with other devices on the same network segment that are also configured with APIPA addresses. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
