Explanation

A rogue access point is an unauthorized wireless AP plugged into the network. By enforcing MAC address filtering per port (port security on the switch), Pete ensures only approved devices can connect - an unauthorized AP would be blocked. Interference (A) is a signal-disruption issue unrelated to MAC filtering. Man-in-the-middle (B) and ARP poisoning (C) can still be executed by already-authorized devices on the network, so MAC filtering alone would not prevent them.
