Why each option

802.11n is the only listed standard that supports dual-band operation on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies.

A802.11a

802.11a operates exclusively on the 5GHz band and cannot use 2.4GHz.

B802.11b

802.11b operates exclusively on the 2.4GHz band and cannot use 5GHz.

C802.11g

802.11g operates exclusively on the 2.4GHz band and cannot use 5GHz.

D802.11nCorrect

802.11n introduced dual-band capability, allowing devices to operate on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band. This flexibility was a key improvement over prior standards, which were locked to a single frequency range. Dual-band support allows 802.11n devices to avoid interference and improve compatibility.
