    Correct Answer
    A. Discover, offer, request, acknowledge
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Discover, offer, request, acknowledge." When a device connects to a network and needs an IP address from a DHCP server, it first sends a discover message to find available DHCP servers on the network. The DHCP servers then respond with an offer message, providing an IP address that can be assigned to the device. The device then sends a request message, indicating its acceptance of the offered IP address. Finally, the DHCP server acknowledges the request and assigns the IP address to the device, completing the process.
