Explanation
Option A is correct because BSS does stand for Basic Service Set, and it is indeed categorized into two types: Independent BSS (IBSS) and Infrastructure BSS. An Independent BSS, also called an ad-hoc network, allows devices to communicate directly with each other without an access point. An Infrastructure BSS uses a central access point (AP) through which all client devices communicate, forming the basis of most modern Wi-Fi deployments. Option B is wrong because both parts of the statement are accurate - the full name and the two subcategories are standard IEEE 802.11 terminology.
Memory tip: Think of "Independent" as devices standing alone (no AP needed), and "Infrastructure" as needing a building's infrastructure - an access point - to connect.
