Answer. A is correct. The service set identifier (SSID) is the network name and it is included in certain wireless packets in plaintext.
Disabling SSID broadcast hides the wireless network from casual users, but not attackers.
Passphrases are not sent across the network in plaintext and are unrelated to the SSID.
Media access control (MAC) address filters do not include the SSID. Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) does use the SSID.
Objective: 1.5 Given a scenario, troubleshoot security issues related to wireless networking.
