Bootstrap Protocol (BootP) is an Internet Layer protocol that enables a workstation to boot without requiring a hard or floppy disk drive. Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) is a TCP/IP protocol that permits a physical address, such as an Ethernet address, to be translated into an IP address. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a TCP/IP protocol that permits an IP address to be translated into a physical address. Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) is a new IP addressing scheme.

CIDR? That doesn't sound right at all.

Wait, can a workstation really boot without a disk?

ARP doesn't boot workstations, just resolves addresses.

I thought RARP was the answer, but BootP makes sense.

BootP is the way to go for network booting!

CIDR seems unrelated to booting, but I can't recall the specifics about BootP and RARP.

I feel like ARP is more about resolving IP addresses to MAC addresses, so it probably isn't the answer.

I remember BootP being mentioned in class, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the right answer here.

I think it might be RARP since it relates to getting an IP address without a local disk.

Okay, I've got this. The answer is PnP (Plug and Play). It's a solution that uses DHCP to get the device an IP address and then TFTP to download the configuration file. Simple as that!

Okay, let's think this through. We need to build out the database layer, so I'm guessing Custom Objects and Fields is one of the answers. Relationships also seem like a good option. As for the third, I'm torn between Roll-Up Summaries and Process Builder.

Lifestyle seems like the most logical answer here. The question is asking about people's psychographic makeup and the way they live, which aligns with the definition of lifestyle as a psychographic variable.
