Explanation

WPA3 (introduced in 2018) is the strongest because it uses 192-bit AES encryption and the SAE (Simultaneous Authentication of Equals) handshake, which protects against offline dictionary attacks and provides forward secrecy - meaning past sessions stay secure even if a key is later compromised.

The distractors fall short in descending order of strength: WPA2 (C) uses AES-CCMP and is strong but lacks WPA3's forward secrecy and SAE; WPA (D) relied on TKIP, a temporary patch over WEP's weaknesses that is now considered insecure; WEP (B) is the weakest - its RC4-based implementation can be cracked in minutes with freely available tools and has been deprecated for years.

Memory tip: Think of Wi-Fi security as generations - each numbered step up (WEP → WPA → WPA2 → WPA3) brings meaningfully stronger encryption, so the highest number always wins.
