A newly opened retail shop uses a combination of new tablets, PCs, printers, and legacy card readers. Which of the following wireless encryption types is the most secure and compatible?
The correct answer is C. WPA2 / WPA3 mixed mode. WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode lets devices that support WPA3 use its stronger encryption while still allowing legacy devices that only support WPA2 to connect, balancing security with compatibility.
