Explanation

EAP-TLS (Extensible Authentication Protocol - Transport Layer Security) is correct. EAP-TLS is a certificate-based wireless authentication method that requires a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) with a Certificate Authority (CA). Both the authentication server and the client use digital certificates for mutual authentication. The question's mention of a 'network certificate authority' is the direct indicator. WEP uses shared keys, LEAP uses username/password with a Cisco-proprietary challenge-response, and TKIP is an encryption protocol-none of them involve a certificate authority.
