I think its D, since MAC filter wont even allow him to connect
If the signal is too low, he will see very high packet loss thus not able to access anything.

You are right easy. When trying to connect to a wi-fi router, the connection is based on MAC address. Since the MAC filtering allows only pre approved MAC addresses to connect, it will reject the connection attempts from unlisted addresses.

It’s C for sure, as the MAC of the Wireless card is different than the wired one (two different NICs). The W MAC is approved for wireless, but for wired.
