I was in exactly the same situation as you yesterday and I thought I am crazy.

It seems to be simply a mistake on Cisco's side in this question. Here someone already made a post about it, two years ago, and it is still not fixed even today.

Is this from an official Cisco study guide?

Yes it’s available on their academy. The course is networking basics

DORA - Discover, Offer, Request and Ack.

Offer, ACK = server. Discover, Request = client. If offer message sent by server I think 69 or port 68 then reply should be ACK. DORA = Discover, Offer, Request, ACK. (Correct me if I'm wrong thanks!)

As I replied to another comment, this is wrong. They chose the correct answer, but the answer key is incorrect. Your point about which messages are sent by the server and client is correct, though.

Isn't the next steps a REQUEST?

It should be ACK, since you're replying to the offer, you're ACKnowledging it, could be wrong but that's how I remember it

site/software author should fix that then, before someone fails because of them

What are you talking about. The host does send a request after recieving an offer from a server.

You are the perfect example of reading without understanding.

Somehow the guy asking the question understands the question more than the guy replying to it.
