Correct answer: Server dynamically leases client IP addresses, Server can exclude specific IPs from a pool.
Why this is the answer
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) dynamically leases IP addresses to clients, meaning it assigns an IP address for a specific duration, after which the client must renew the lease. This allows for efficient IP address management and reuse. DHCP servers can also be configured to exclude specific IP addresses or ranges from a pool, preventing them from being assigned to clients. This is useful for static assignments to devices like servers or printers. "Server assigns IPs without client renewal" is incorrect because DHCP leases are temporary and require renewal. "Client can request up to four DNS servers" is incorrect; while DHCP can provide DNS server information, the number of DNS servers a client can request is not a core DHCP function. "Client maintains a pool of assignable IPs" is incorrect; the DHCP server, not the client, maintains the pool of assignable IP addresses.
