Explanation
Dynamic addressing (DHCP) automatically assigns IP addresses to hosts from a pool, eliminating the need for manual IP configuration. The primary advantage is that adding new devices to the network is simple - they automatically receive an address without any administrator intervention. Option A is incorrect because DHCP does not enable cross-subnet-mask communication (routing does). Option B describes an unintended consequence (lease expiration), not a benefit. Option D is incorrect because DHCP typically assigns one address per host at a time.
