Correct arrangement

DHCP discover

Explanation

The correct arrangement follows the DORA process, which is the standard four-step DHCP handshake sequence: Discover (client broadcasts to find a DHCP server), Offer (server responds with an available IP address), Request (client formally requests the offered IP), and Acknowledgment (server confirms the lease assignment). This sequential order is fundamental to how DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses to network clients, and no steps can be skipped or reordered in normal operation.
