Plug and Play is the ability of the computer system to detect and configure new hardware devices automatically, without requiring users to manually configure system settings or device drivers.

Dynamic configuration and automatic configuration are not specific terms in this context and do not accurately describe the process of detecting and configuring new hardware devices.
