Explanation

The global configuration command 'dot1x system-auth-control' globally enables 802.1X authentication on a Cisco switch (B). Without this command, 802.1X will not function even if it is configured on individual interfaces. It is a prerequisite for any 802.1X deployment. This is distinct from the interface-level command 'dot1x pae authenticator', which enables 802.1X on a specific port. It does not control session tracking.
