I’m leaning towards C) MAB. It’s useful for devices that can’t do EAP.

I agree, but A) RADIUS is also important for centralized authentication.

Nah, TACACS is more for device management, not endpoints.

MAB is also an option, but not the main one.

It's definitely EAP for 802.1 authentication.

I’m leaning towards TACACS, but I can't recall if it’s specifically for 802.1X. I need to double-check my notes.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think MAB was mentioned as an option for devices that can't do EAP.

I feel like RADIUS might be involved too, especially since it’s often used for network access control.

I think it's EAP, but I’m not entirely sure. I remember it being related to authentication methods.
