Explanation
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters (subnet mask, default gateway, DNS server) to devices on a network. DNS (A) resolves hostnames to IP addresses but does not assign them. SNMP (C) is used for monitoring and managing network devices, not address assignment. NAT (D) translates private IP addresses to public IP addresses for routing across the internet but does not assign addresses to hosts.
