Why each option
NetBIOS names allow the inclusion of the period '.' and the underscore '_' characters, alongside alphanumeric characters, up to a maximum length of 15 characters.
NetBIOS names can include certain special characters in addition to alphanumeric characters, making this statement incorrect.
The period character '.' is a valid character that can be used within a NetBIOS name, often used in conjunction with a scope ID or service identifier.
The underscore character '_' is a valid character that can be used when constructing a NetBIOS name.
NetBIOS names are case-insensitive, meaning they are treated the same regardless of casing, but they are not strictly required to be UPPERCASE when created.
NetBIOS names have a maximum length of 15 characters; the 16th byte is reserved for a service type suffix.
