The correct answer is C. AES F. TKIP. WPA mixed mode supports both older WPA (using TKIP) and newer WPA2 (using AES) clients simultaneously on the same network.

Why each option
WPA mixed mode supports both older WPA (using TKIP) and newer WPA2 (using AES) clients simultaneously on the same network.
SSH is a remote administration protocol, not a wireless encryption cipher used in WPA.
3DES is a symmetric block cipher used in VPNs and other protocols but is not part of the WPA or WPA2 wireless security specifications.
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is the encryption cipher used by WPA2, which is included in WPA mixed mode to support modern clients. It provides stronger security than TKIP.
SSL is a transport layer security protocol for web traffic and is not a wireless encryption method used by WPA.
TLS is the successor to SSL and is used for securing application-layer communications, not wireless frame-level encryption.
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is the encryption cipher used by the original WPA standard, included in mixed mode to provide backwards compatibility for legacy devices that cannot support AES.
