Explanation
The goal is to give visitors easy access to the visitor wireless network on Access Point 2. The problem is that Access Point 2 is configured with WEP encryption, which requires a password/passphrase to connect - adding friction for visitors. The simplest way to provide easy, open access is to remove the WEP encryption entirely, making the network open (no password required). Changing to WPA2 (option C) would make it more secure but harder for guests, not easier. Changing the SSID to 'OPEN' is misleading naming, not a functional fix. The correct change is D: remove WEP from Access Point 2.
