Why each option

To resolve an invalid static IP address preventing network access, the technician should configure the user's device to use DHCP. DHCP automatically assigns valid IP addresses, simplifying network configuration and ensuring proper connectivity.

ASSH

SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol for secure remote access and command-line execution, not for obtaining an IP address.

BFTP

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used for transferring files between computers on a network, not for IP address assignment.

CDHCPCorrect

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network protocol that automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters (like subnet mask, gateway, and DNS servers) to devices connected to a network. By configuring the user's device to obtain an IP address via DHCP, it will request and receive a valid, routable IP address from the DHCP server, allowing it to connect to network resources.

DDNS

DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-readable domain names into IP addresses but does not assign IP addresses to client devices.
