Explanation / Answer

The 802.11g includes some weak security features such as WEP. However, the 802.11i is supposed to really enhance the security standards. Let's look at each answer: a) definitely not true. People can most certainly hear whatever radio signal is used. b) also not true. Of course people have attacked wireless networks before. c) This is true. though security isnt great... d) cabled networks don't have security but they can only be accessed from certain terminals that require log-ons. that usually acts as security. wireless networks can be accessed from anywhere within the broadcast range on any computer. there is no security except for the WEP. Therefore, my answer is C.
