Explanation

In load balancing mode, DHCP Server and Relay support adaptive linkage - meaning they can automatically synchronize state between peer devices without manual peer IP configuration, but the server itself will not proactively push notifications to the peer (making B correct and A wrong, since A incorrectly states they cannot be adaptively linked).

RADIUS/Portal Servers, by contrast, do require the peer device's IP address to be explicitly configured to establish the hot standby communication channel - these servers rely on a manually defined peer relationship to exchange authentication/accounting state (making D correct and C wrong, since C incorrectly claims no peer IP configuration is needed).

The key architectural difference is that DHCP uses a stateful protocol where the relay can auto-discover linkage parameters, while RADIUS/Portal operates with explicit peer trust relationships that must be administratively defined.

Memory tip: Think "DHCP = Discoverable" (auto-links, no manual peer IP needed) vs. "RADIUS = Requires registration" (must manually specify the peer's IP). If a protocol handles authentication or policy enforcement (RADIUS/Portal), it demands explicit trust configuration; if it handles address assignment (DHCP), it can figure out its partner on its own.
