Answer:

A. AES

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the IEEE 802.11i technology standard for data encryption, WPA2(wifi protected access 2) is the recommended security protocol for wireless networks. It was designed to increase the security of Wi-Fi connections by requiring the use of stronger wireless encryption than WPA requires. WPA2 doesn't allow the use of Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) that as this is known to have security problems. WPA2. The main difference between wpa and wpa2 is that wpa2 is more secure as it makes use of a stronger encryption method called AES.
