Final answer:

On a network of three workstations running Windows 7 Home Edition x64, HomeGroup is most likely active for enabling File and Print sharing as it is designed for simplicity in home networks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The option most likely active on a network of three workstations running Windows 7 Home Edition x64 to enable File and Print sharing is HomeGroup. HomeGroup is a feature in Windows that easily facilitates the sharing of libraries and printers within a home network.

Since Windows 7 Home Edition lacks the functionality of Active Directory and Domain Setup, and HomeGroup is designed for home or small office networks, it is the most suitable choice. The WorkGroup model does exist but is not as user-friendly and automatic as HomeGroup for simple file and print sharing tasks.
