Question
Users are reporting slow connections on their mobile devices when trying to download large data files from the network servers, but users on wired connections are not having any issues. A network technician notices multiple alerts about wireless access points going offline, and several devices connecting to the WLAN are unable to authenticate successfully. Which of the following issues are the mobile users experiencing?
Options
- AOver-limit data transmission
- BUnauthorized account access.
- CLeaked personal data
- DDropped signals

Explanation
The symptoms described - wireless access points going offline, authentication failures on WLAN, and slow connections only for mobile/wireless users - all point to dropped signals. Wireless signal instability causes intermittent connectivity, failed authentication handshakes, and degraded throughput. Wired users are unaffected because physical connections don't suffer from RF interference, range limitations, or WAP failures. This rules out unauthorized account access (B) or data leakage (C), which would typically affect all connection types equally.
