In OSPF point-to-point networks, routers form adjacencies directly with each other without electing a Designated Router (DR). This is because there are only two routers on the link, eliminating the need for a DR/BDR election process. The other options are incorrect because DR/BDR elections occur in multi-access network types, such as broadcast or non-broadcast networks, where multiple routers need to manage adjacency relationships efficiently.
