Explanation

Infrastructure mode connects wireless devices through a central wireless access point (AP) or router, which is the standard mode for connecting devices to an existing network. Since the printer needs to be accessible by ten users on the same network, it must join the existing wireless infrastructure. Ad hoc mode is peer-to-peer (device to device) with no AP, making it unsuitable for shared multi-user access. Bluetooth has very limited range and is not a network mode for printers in a LAN environment. Ethernet is a wired connection, which contradicts the wireless-only environment requirement.
