Options

• AMultifactor authentication will be forced for Wi-Fi.

Explanation

NOTE: The marked correct answer (B - 'All Wi-Fi traffic will be encrypted in transit') appears questionable. Wi-Fi encryption (WPA2/WPA3) is handled at the protocol level, not by client certificates. The primary security benefit of deploying a client certificate in addition to a username and password is Multifactor Authentication (MFA) - the certificate is 'something you have' and the password is 'something you know,' satisfying two authentication factors. Answer A ('Multifactor authentication will be forced for Wi-Fi') is the more technically accurate answer for this scenario. Eavesdropping prevention (C) and blocking rogue APs (D) are not direct benefits of client certificates. If this appeared on a CompTIA A+ or Security+ exam, answer A better matches the described deployment. Accept A as the strongest answer based on the scenario description.
