Please consult RFC 2131:

DHCP uses UDP as its transport protocol.  DHCP messages from a client
   to a server are sent to the 'DHCP server' port (67), and DHCP
messages from a server to a client are sent to the 'DHCP client' port
   (68). A server with multiple network address (e.g., a multi-homed
host) MAY use any of its network addresses in outgoing DHCP messages.

I don't know if UDP counts as an Internet protocol in your book.

DHCP is a technology that dynamically configures hosts.

That's not the point, the point here is that DHCP is not an Internet protocol. It is an IETF protocol but not an Internet protocol. It does not layer on the IP stack.
