The correct answer is C. Switch D. WAP. A basic SOHO network for wired and wireless devices requires a switch to interconnect the wired clients and a WAP to provide the secure wireless segment. No advanced security appliances are needed for this minimal setup.

Why each option
A basic SOHO network for wired and wireless devices requires a switch to interconnect the wired clients and a WAP to provide the secure wireless segment. No advanced security appliances are needed for this minimal setup.
An IDS (Intrusion Detection System) is an enterprise-grade security device that is not required for a basic SOHO setup with four laptops and one desktop.
A repeater extends the range of an existing wireless signal and is not needed when building a new, small-scale wireless network from scratch.
A switch provides the Layer 2 wired connectivity needed to interconnect the desktop PC and any laptops using Ethernet, enabling them to share network resources.
A WAP (Wireless Access Point) provides the 802.11 wireless network requested for internal devices and supports security protocols such as WPA2-PSK to keep it secure.
A UTM (Unified Threat Management) device provides advanced security features that far exceed the stated basic requirements of this SOHO deployment.
