CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 230

A technician is finalizing a new workstation for a user. The user's PC will be connected to the internet but will not require the same private address each time. Which of the following protocols will the technician MOST likely utilize?

Answer options

• A. DHCP
• B. SMTP
• C. DNS
• D. RDP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A (DHCP) because it dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network, allowing for different addresses each time the device connects. Options B (SMTP) and C (DNS) serve different purposes related to email and domain name resolution, respectively, while D (RDP) is a protocol for remote desktop access, not for IP address assignment.
