The correct statement that describes the difference between an IP address and a MAC address for a specific device is:
**The IP address can change, but the MAC address always stays the same.**
Here's a brief explanation:
- **MAC Address**: A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface card (NIC) for communication on the physical network segment. It is hardcoded into the device and does not change.
- **IP Address**: An IP (Internet Protocol) address is assigned to a device on a network for communication over the internet or local network. It can change, especially if the device connects to different networks or the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server assigns a new address.
