That's a good point, Fernanda. I see your rationale. It's important for the AP to decrypt the text first to ensure a secure connection.

I disagree, I believe the correct sequence is D) 4-->5->3->2-->1 because the AP needs to decrypt the encrypted text before comparing it with the original challenge text.

I think the correct sequence is B) 4--->2--->1--->3--->5 because it makes sense to connect to the network first before sending the challenge text.
