Answer:

Option D: IP addresses

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is the protocol that assigns IP addresses to devices joining a network.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Dynamic host configuration protocol is abbreviated as DHCP.
  • Networks are managed according to DHCP protocol widely.
  • It is used to assign IP address to the devices in a network.
  • While using Static protocol, we are allowed to assign he IP addresses to the connected users ourself from a given range.
  • Where as in DHCP, each device is assigned IP address dynamically from a pool of addresses.
  • DHCP is thus a ast and efficient way of assigning IPs to the devices as it gives each device a unique IP.

I hope it will help you!
