Question

DHCP automates the allocation of IP addresses, eliminating the need for manual configuration and reducing errors. It allows for dynamic assignment of IP addresses and enables efficient management of IP address allocation.

Option B is partially correct as DHCP allows for efficient reuse of IP addresses, but it is not the primary purpose of DHCP.

Option C is incorrect as hostname to IP address translation is the function of DNS, not DHCP.

Option D is incorrect as non-routable IP addresses are defined by specific address ranges and protocols, not by DHCP.
