Group of answer choices.

B. It can communicate on the local network as well as on the Internet.

C. It has a public IP address that has been translated to a private IP address.

D. It cannot communicate outside its own network.

Answer:

D. It cannot communicate outside its own network.

Explanation:

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standard protocol that assigns IP address to users automatically from the DHCP server.

Basically, a DHCP server is designed to automatically assign internet protocol (IP) address to network devices connected to its network using a preconfigured DHCP pool and port number 67.

When a computer that is configured with DHCP cannot communicate or obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, the Windows operating system (OS) of the computer automatically assigns an IP address of 169.254.33.16, which typically limits the computer to only communicate within its network.

Generally, a computer cannot communicate outside its own network when it is assigned an IP address of 169.254.33.16.
