Yeah, layer 2 broadcast is crucial for discovery.

I’m confused about the layer 2 destination address part; I thought it did have one, but I need to double-check my notes on that.

I definitely remember that it doesn't use TCP, so that rules out option C. I think B could be the right choice since it mentions UDP.

I’m a bit unsure about the transport layer protocol; I thought DHCP used UDP, but I can't recall if it was mentioned in practice questions.

I remember that the DHCP Discover message does use a layer 2 broadcast address, so I think option A might be correct.
