Explanation
WARNING: The provided answer key (A. AirMagnet Survey) is incorrect. MetaGeek Chanalyzer (D) is a dedicated RF spectrum analyzer tool that visualizes all energy across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands - including non-802.11 interference sources like microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors, and cordless phones. AirMagnet Survey and Ekahau Site Survey (C) are Wi-Fi site survey tools designed for coverage mapping and AP placement, not for identifying non-Wi-Fi RF interference. Identifying RF noise sources requires a spectrum analyzer like Chanalyzer, not a site survey tool.
