The correct answer is A. Implement WPA. Among the given options, implementing WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) provides the strongest encryption and authentication. WEP (D) is completely broken - its RC4 encryption can be cracked in minutes using freely available tools and should never be used. Disabling the SSID (B) is me

Explanation
Among the given options, implementing WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) provides the strongest encryption and authentication. WEP (D) is completely broken - its RC4 encryption can be cracked in minutes using freely available tools and should never be used. Disabling the SSID (B) is merely security through obscurity; the network is still discoverable by passive scanning tools and provides no real cryptographic protection. Adjusting antenna placement (C) is a physical control that limits coverage area but provides no encryption. WPA (and especially WPA2/WPA3 in practice) uses TKIP or AES-based encryption, making it the most secure option listed.
