Why each option
In a workgroup environment, DHCP server authorization is not required because authorization is an Active Directory Domain Services mechanism that does not apply outside of a domain.
Activating the scope is required to transition it from inactive to a state where it can begin leasing IP addresses to clients.
DHCP server authorization is enforced by Active Directory Domain Services to prevent rogue DHCP servers from issuing incorrect addresses on a domain network. A workgroup has no Active Directory infrastructure, so there is no authorization mechanism to invoke - the DHCP service operates immediately after installation, scope configuration, and scope activation without any authorization step.
Configuring the scope is required to define the address pool, subnet mask, lease duration, and optional parameters like default gateway and DNS.
Installing the DHCP service is the prerequisite step without which no DHCP functionality can be configured or started.
