When a DHCP client wants to relinquish its IP address and end its lease, it sends a DHCPRelease message to the DHCP server. This message tells the server that the client no longer needs the leased IP address and the server is free to reuse it. The other options are not relevant to this scenario. DHCPInform is used by a client to request information from the server without requesting an IP address. DHCPAck is the server's response to a client's DHCPRequest message confirming the assignment of an IP address. DHCPDecline is sent by a client to a server to decline an offered IP address.
