Why each option

SSIDs are case-sensitive identifiers with a maximum length of 32 characters that all devices on the same wireless network must share to communicate.

AAll wireless devices on a wireless network must have the same SSID in order to communicate withCorrect

All wireless devices must be configured with the identical SSID to associate with and communicate on the same wireless network.

BSSIDs are case insensitive text strings and have a maximum length of 64 characters.

SSIDs are case-sensitive - not case-insensitive - and have a maximum length of 32 characters, not 64.

CSSID is used to identify a wireless network.Correct

The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the primary human-readable name used to identify and distinguish one wireless network from another.

DConfiguring the same SSID as that of the other Wireless Access Points (WAPs) of other networks willCorrect

Configuring the same SSID as another network's WAPs can cause wireless clients to inadvertently associate with the wrong network, creating security and connectivity problems.
