Explanation

IEEE 802.1Q is the standard that defines VLAN tagging on Ethernet frames. It inserts a 4-byte tag into the Ethernet frame header to identify which VLAN a frame belongs to, enabling VLAN traffic to traverse trunk links between switches. 802.11a and 802.11b are Wi-Fi wireless LAN standards. 802.1m is not a recognized standard for VLANs. 802.1Q is the correct answer and is fundamental knowledge for any networking certification.
