Explanation
The requirement states the router must NOT assign network addresses - meaning DHCP must be disabled. However, all devices still need network and internet access. Without DHCP to hand out IP addresses automatically, each device must be manually configured with a static IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server. This satisfies both requirements: no automatic address assignment from the router, yet full network connectivity for all devices. MAC filtering (B) controls which devices can connect but does not address IP assignment. Placing devices in a DMZ (C) affects security exposure, not IP assignment. Port forwarding (D) redirects inbound traffic on specific ports and is unrelated to resolving IP addressing for internal clients.
