Explanation
Telnet is a valid remote management protocol for Access Points and does support username and password authentication, making the statement true. Network administrators commonly configure Telnet on APs by defining local user accounts or pointing to an authentication server (such as RADIUS), requiring credentials before granting CLI access. Option B is incorrect because it wrongly implies Telnet cannot enforce credential-based authentication, when in fact this is a standard and widely supported configuration on managed APs and network devices.
Memory tip: Think of Telnet as an older, unencrypted cousin of SSH - both support username/password login, but only SSH encrypts the session. Knowing this distinction helps you remember that Telnet does authenticate users, it just does so in plaintext, which is why SSH is preferred in security-conscious environments.
