Which process is used in DHCP?

Bind, Seek, Renew, Accept
Ping, Request, Offer, Accept
Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge
Collect, Offer, Allocate, Confirm

The correct answer is: Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol used to assign IP addresses and configure devices on a network. In addition, DHCP can also inform other network devices about available network services. Out of the given options, only C includes the correct combination of stages in DHCP. Option A is referring to the DNS protocol (Domain Name System), which is used to translate domain names into IP addresses. Option B is similar to DHCP, but it does not include the Discover stage, where a client sends a request to locate an available DHCP server. Similarly, option D does not have the Request stage and instead includes a Confirm stage, which is not part of the DHCP process. Therefore, the correct option is C - Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge.
