Why each option
AiroPeek is a commercial Windows-based wireless LAN protocol analyzer that supports IEEE 802.11b and multiple network protocols including TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and IPX.
Sam Spade is a Windows-based network investigation utility used for DNS lookups, WHOIS queries, and traceroute, not a wireless LAN analyzer.
Cheops-ng is a network management and host discovery tool used for mapping network topology, not a wireless LAN protocol analyzer.
AiroPeek (later rebranded as OmniPeek by WildPackets/Savvius) is a commercial wireless LAN analyzer specifically designed for IEEE 802.11b networks on Windows. It provides full protocol decode support for high-level protocols such as TCP/IP, NetBEUI, and IPX, making it the only tool in the list that matches all criteria in the question stem.
John the Ripper is a password auditing and cracking tool, not a wireless LAN analyzer or protocol capture utility.
