Which of the following network services allows a networked device to always be assigned the same IP address based on the device's MAC address?

The correct answer is A. DHCP. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) supports a feature called DHCP reservation (or static DHCP mapping), which ties a specific IP address to a device's MAC address. Each time that device requests an IP, the DHCP server recognizes its MAC and always assigns the reserved IP.

Explanation

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) supports a feature called DHCP reservation (or static DHCP mapping), which ties a specific IP address to a device's MAC address. Each time that device requests an IP, the DHCP server recognizes its MAC and always assigns the reserved IP. DNS (D) resolves hostnames to IPs, UTM (C) is a security appliance, and LOAP (B) is not a real networking protocol - it is a distractor.
