Explanation

Ad hoc wireless networks are peer-to-peer connections that do not use a central access point or authentication server. WEP (A) and WPA-PSK (B) are both supported in ad hoc mode because they rely on a pre-shared key or static key - no RADIUS or authentication server is required. WPA-EAP (D) and WPA2-EAP (C) use Extensible Authentication Protocol, which requires an external authentication server (e.g., RADIUS). Since an ad hoc setup has no infrastructure server, EAP-based protocols are not applicable.
