Why each option
VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) are configured on network switches to segment a single physical network into multiple logical broadcast domains.
A wireless repeater extends wireless signal range and does not typically support VLAN configuration.
A hub is a basic Layer 1 device that simply broadcasts all incoming traffic to all ports and has no VLAN capabilities.
Switches are Layer 2 devices capable of creating and managing VLANs. By configuring VLANs on a switch, network administrators can logically segment a physical network, improving security and performance by separating traffic into different broadcast domains.
While routers operate at Layer 3 and route traffic *between* VLANs, the VLANs themselves are defined and configured on switches.
