D, Reducing the lease time is the best answer here. While there isn't much additional info regarding how long it currently is, if some jabroni configured a lease time of two weeks, there will be a bunch of lingering leases that aren't in use and could be utilized by new devices.

So a b and c do not make sense. Given they do not want to increase the scope of the DHCP, even after it's exhausted. It's clear that they're looking for the fastest, and probably cheapest workaround solution to take care of this problem. A. I don't see any need for load balancers B. Installing more switches isn't going to do anything in this case. This is a dhcp scope issue, and installing switches isn't going to change the scope of the DHCP. C. Decreasing the number of vlans doesn't make sense. D. Decreasing the lease time will allow other devices to connect. Some_specialist says it best with his/her example

Diminuir o tempo de locação de endereços é a opção mais recomendada (D), isso porque em nossa rede poderemos ter dispositivos não permanentes dentro da rede, se este tiver um tempo de locação/conceção muito elevado, de uma ou duas semanas por exemplo, significa que tal endereço IP não será atribuído a outros dispositivos durante o periodo de locação, resultando assim em desperdício (nos casos de dispositivos) que não estarão em nossa rede nesse período, portanto, reduzir o tempo de locação para 2 ou 3 dias se torna a opção mais sensata, uma vez que os dispositivos dentro da rede terão a opção de renovar tais endereços ao fim dos tempo estabelecido, desde que estes continuem activos na rede...

To resolve the issue of DHCP scope exhaustion without creating a new DHCP pool, the administrator can take the following action: D. Reduce the lease time: By reducing the lease time, DHCP addresses will be reclaimed more quickly when devices disconnect or renew their leases, allowing for more efficient use of the existing DHCP scope. This can help alleviate the exhaustion issue without the need for additional resources like load balancers, switches, or VLAN modifications.
