Which technology supports the stateless assignment of IPv6 addresses? (Choose two)
The correct answer is B. DHCPv6 D. autoconfiguration. Stateless IPv6 address assignment is supported by SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration), which allows devices to generate their own IPv6 addresses, often combined with stateless DHCPv6 for additional information.

Why each option
Stateless IPv6 address assignment is supported by SLAAC (Stateless Address Autoconfiguration), which allows devices to generate their own IPv6 addresses, often combined with stateless DHCPv6 for additional information.
DNS (Domain Name System) resolves domain names to IP addresses but does not assign IP addresses to hosts.
DHCPv6, when configured in a stateless mode, can provide additional network configuration information (like DNS server addresses) to IPv6 hosts that have already self-configured their IP addresses using SLAAC.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) for IPv4 is a stateful protocol that assigns IP addresses, and does not apply to stateless IPv6 address assignment.
Autoconfiguration, specifically Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC), allows IPv6 hosts to automatically configure their own IP addresses and default gateway without the need for a stateful server, using information from Router Advertisement messages.
