Explanation

PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an 802.1X/EAP-based framework that enables username and password authentication over wireless networks. It creates an encrypted TLS tunnel between the client and the authentication server (typically a RADIUS server), through which credentials are securely transmitted. WPS (A) is a simplified Wi-Fi setup method using a PIN or button - not credential-based auth. TKIP (C) is a deprecated encryption protocol (part of WPA), not an authentication method. PKI (D) is a certificate-based infrastructure, which supports certificate authentication, not username/password directly.
