Answer 1

Beacons, Probe requests, and other listed items are examples of management frames used in IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs to handle network functions like connection establishment, maintenance, and termination.

Step-by-step explanation:

The list of terms provided - Beacons, Probe requests, Probe responses, Association requests, Authentication responses, DE authentications, Reassociation requests, and Reassociation responses, are examples of management frames. In the context of wireless networking, specifically IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs, management frames are used for maintaining and managing communications rather than for the transmission of application data. These frames handle critical network functions such as the establishment of the communication link (e.g., association, authentication), the maintenance of the connection (e.g., beacons for synchronization), and the normal termination of the connection (e.g., DE authentication).
