Answer:

Option C: public

MAC filtering should be done on public wireless networks.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • MAC is an abbreviation for Media Access Control.
  • MAC address is a physical address used by each device for hardware identification.
  • MAC address contain six 2-digit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons.
  • MAC filtering is a term used in wireless networks for security as well as privacy purposes.
  • By applying MAC filtering means that the router is configured so that it gets the MAC addresses of the devices which are to be allowed to connect to the network.
  • All other devices cannot get attached to the network until their MAC address is saved by the owner into he router settings.
  • So in this way all public wireless networks can get secure.

I hope it will help you!
