Explanation

Two techniques are at work here. First, 'viewing wireless traffic' describes Packet Sniffing (C) - the attacker passively captures wireless frames to discover the SSIDs being broadcast by nearby access points. Second, using those discovered SSIDs to impersonate a legitimate network and lure clients to connect to a malicious device describes an Evil Twin (B) - a rogue AP that mimics a real network's name to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. Blue snarfing is Bluetooth data theft, war dialing scans phone lines for modems, and while a rogue AP (E) is close, 'evil twin' specifically denotes the impersonation/spoofing aspect described here.
