Which tool can sniff probe requests from a wireless client, pretend to be the client's legitimate access point, and offer fake network services to the client?
The correct answer is C. Karmetasploit. Karmetasploit is a Metasploit-based tool specifically designed to create a rogue access point by responding to client probe requests and serving fake network services to connected victims.

Why each option
Karmetasploit is a Metasploit-based tool specifically designed to create a rogue access point by responding to client probe requests and serving fake network services to connected victims.
inSSIDer is a Wi-Fi scanning and network analysis tool used to visualize nearby access points and signal strength; it does not perform rogue AP or fake service attacks.
Aircrack-ng is a suite focused on WEP and WPA/WPA2 key cracking through packet capture and analysis; it does not impersonate access points or host fake network services.
Karmetasploit integrates with the Metasploit Framework and uses a wireless card to listen for 802.11 probe requests broadcast by clients searching for known networks. It then impersonates those networks as a rogue AP and automatically launches fake services such as DNS, HTTP, POP3, and SMTP to capture credentials and exploit connecting clients.
Wellenreiter is a legacy passive wireless network discovery and auditing tool for Linux; it does not perform active rogue AP impersonation or serve fake services to clients.
