Correct answer: Discover, Offer, Request, Acknowledge.
Why this is the answer
The four DHCP lease transaction stages are Discover, Offer, Request, and Acknowledge (DORA). The client broadcasts a DHCP Discover message to find a DHCP server. The DHCP server responds with a DHCP Offer, proposing an IP address and lease terms. The client then sends a DHCP Request, formally asking for the offered IP address. Finally, the DHCP server sends a DHCP Acknowledge (ACK) to confirm the lease and provide configuration details. The other options include incorrect stages like "Release" (which is for ending a lease), "Obtain," or "Determine," which are not standard DHCP transaction phases.
