The correct answer is A. 1. In the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band, only channels 1, 6, and 11 are non-overlapping. Each channel occupies a 22 MHz range, so channels that are fewer than 5 apart will overlap and cause co-channel or adjacent-channel interference.

Explanation

In the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi band, only channels 1, 6, and 11 are non-overlapping. Each channel occupies a 22 MHz range, so channels that are fewer than 5 apart will overlap and cause co-channel or adjacent-channel interference. WAP1 is on channel 6, while WAP2 and WAP3 are on channels 8 and 9 (both overlapping with 6 and 11). Channel 11 would still experience interference from channels 8 and 9. Channel 1 is the furthest away from all three existing channels (6, 8, and 9) and has no spectral overlap with any of them, making it the optimal choice to minimize interference and maximize performance.
