• Atext string
• Busername and password
• Ccertificate
• DRADIUS token

• B
  2% (1)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  5% (2)

Explanation

Explanation

Option A is correct because the exhibit shows a WPA2-Personal (PSK) configuration, which uses a pre-shared key (text string/passphrase) for client authentication - clients simply enter the shared password to join the network. Option B (username and password) is incorrect because that method is associated with WPA2-Enterprise, which requires an authentication server. Option C (certificate) is also an Enterprise-level method used with EAP-TLS, where digital certificates are issued to clients for mutual authentication. Option D (RADIUS token) is incorrect because RADIUS is a centralized AAA server used in Enterprise environments, not in Personal/PSK configurations.

Memory Tip: Think "Personal = Passphrase" - WPA2-Personal uses a PSK (a simple text Passphrase), while WPA2-Enterprise uses External authentication methods like RADIUS, certificates, or credentials. If you see PSK in the config, the answer is always the simple text string option.
