Explanation
WPA2-Enterprise uses IEEE 802.1X with a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) server for centralized authentication. A critical deployment step is installing a digital certificate on the RADIUS/authentication server so that wireless clients can verify the server's identity and establish a secure EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) tunnel-preventing rogue server attacks. Without the certificate, EAP-PEAP and EAP-TLS cannot function correctly. Installing a token (A) applies to token-based MFA, not the server setup. A DHCP server (B) handles IP address assignment and is not part of authentication. Installing a generic encryption key (C) is not a standard step; certificates are the correct mechanism.
