Correct answer: default-router.
Why this is the answer
The default-router command within a DHCP pool configuration specifies the IP address of the default gateway that DHCP clients should use. This is crucial for clients to communicate outside their local subnet. The dns-server command specifies the IP address of the DNS server, not the default gateway. The ip helper-address command is configured on an interface to forward DHCP broadcast requests to a DHCP server, it's not a pool configuration command. While default-gateway sounds similar, it is not the correct command syntax used in Cisco IOS DHCP pool configurations; the correct command is default-router.
