b) Based on the device's MAC address
c) Based on the device's manufacturer
d) Based on the device's screen resolution

Answer 1

Wireless local area networks (LAN) that use an 802.1x protocol control network access based on the device's MAC address.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wireless local area networks (LAN) that use an 802.1x protocol control network access based on the device's MAC address.

The 802.1x protocol is an authentication protocol used in wireless LANs to ensure that only authorized devices can connect to the network.

When a device attempts to connect to the network, it sends its MAC address as part of the authentication process. The access control system checks this MAC address against a list of authorized devices and grants or denies network access accordingly.
