Explanation

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network from a pool of available addresses. These addresses are leased for a period of time and can change each time a device connects, making them 'dynamic.' This contrasts with a 'static' IP address, which is manually configured and never changes. 'Hybrid' and 'Secure' are not valid IP address assignment categories.
