Why each option
A DHCP server primarily stores a pool of available IP addresses, along with other network configuration parameters, that it can dynamically assign to client devices.
A DHCP server maintains one or more pools (scopes) of IP addresses that it dynamically leases to clients requesting network configuration, ensuring efficient management and distribution of IP addresses.
This describes the function of a DNS server, which resolves domain names to IP addresses (and vice versa) for both public and private addresses.
This describes the function of an authentication server (like an Active Directory domain controller or RADIUS server), not a DHCP server.
While DHCP servers can be configured with reservations linking specific MAC addresses to static IP assignments, a comprehensive list of *all* statically assigned MAC addresses for network devices is not its primary information store.
