Haha, a RADIUS server as the supplicant? That's a good one! Clearly the answer is D, the client laptop.

I'm torn between A and D, but I think a client laptop makes the most sense as the supplicant. A network switch seems more like the authenticator, right?

Definitely option D, a client laptop is the supplicant in an 802.1x deployment. This is pretty basic stuff.

I'm not sure, but I think a network switch could also be considered a Supplicant in some cases.

I agree with Shawna, a client laptop makes sense as a Supplicant in 802.1x deployment.
