Explanation

Option B is correct because WPA2 PSK (Pre-Shared Key) authentication requires only a passphrase (the pre-shared key), not a username. The statement incorrectly describes WPA2 Enterprise behavior, which uses 802.1X/EAP with a RADIUS server and does require both a username and password. Option A is wrong because conflating PSK with Enterprise is a common misconception - PSK is a simpler, single-credential method where every authorized user shares the same passphrase.

Memory tip: PSK stands for Pre-Shared Key - one key, no username. If you see "username and password" for wireless authentication, think Enterprise, not PSK.
