According to the DHCP lease process, when a client requests a renewal of its lease, the DHCP server has two-thirds of the lease time to respond. If the server does not respond during this time, the client will continue using its current IP address for another one-third of the lease time. Therefore, if the DHCP server does not respond to the client's first renewal request, the client will keep its current address until 87.5% of the lease interval has expired. Option D (87.5% of lease interval expired) is the closest answer.
