What is a service set identifier (SSID)?
A . A wireless encryption standard
B . The wireless LAN transmission type
C . The broadcast name of an access point
D . A wireless security protocol

Answer: C

Explanation:

SSID (service set identifier) is a function performed by an Access Point that transmits its name so that wireless stations searching for a network connection can ‘discover’ it. It’s what allows your wireless adapter’s client manager program or Windows built-in wireless software to give you a list of the Access Points in range.
