Not to beat a dead horse but pretty much everyone got it right.

DCHP is typically a service found on the router which allocates available IP addresses (ipv4/ipv6). A new device wants to connect to the router…the router assigns it an unused IP address so it can communicate to the internet.

IPv6 is just a newer version of IPv4 but slightly less used than IPv4.
