Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The 802.1x authentication process begins after the client device completes the 802.11 association with the access point but before the WPA 4-Way Handshake. This is part of the EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) process, which authenticates the device before allowing full network access.

I'm pretty sure it's B. The 802.1x authentication process starts after the client completes the 802.11 association, right? I mean, you can't authenticate before you even connect to the network, can you?
