Common mistakes.

A. Trusted Network Detection determines whether the endpoint is on a trusted network to trigger or bypass the VPN tunnel, but does not perform 802.1X authentication.
C. Flexible AAA Options refers to broad authentication framework support in products like Cisco ISE and is not a specific AnyConnect module tied to 802.1X.
D. AnyConnect with AMP provides endpoint malware protection through the Advanced Malware Protection module and is entirely unrelated to 802.1X network access control.
