Explanation
WARNING: The provided answer key (C. elimination of trees, D. antenna cable grounding) is misleading. The question specifies a direct line of sight already exists, making tree removal a non-issue. For outdoor APs in areas with a history of harsh weather, the two critical protective measures are: (1) Lightning arrestor installation (B) - inline devices that divert electrical surges from lightning strikes away from the AP and connected equipment, and (2) Antenna cable grounding (D) - proper RF cable grounding dissipates induced electrical charges. Together, B and D are industry-standard best practices for protecting outdoor wireless infrastructure from weather-related outages.
