Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because when the switch is set to factory defaults and connected to a DHCP server, it will receive an IP address automatically and allows access without a password. Options A and B are incorrect as they reference static default IP addresses and require passwords that do not apply in this scenario. Option D is incorrect because the switch does not require a password when accessed through its DHCP-assigned IP address.
