This is a terrible question. Encryption doesn't prevent interception, it prevents people reading what is being sent. Which in turn is technically an increase in protect against spyware. All I am saying in this pointless comment is this question sucks. On a positive note, I hope no one gets this question on the exam and you all pass. Peace out!
"Encryption is the process of converting or scrambling data and information into an unreadable, encoded version that can only be read with authorized access. Encryption is a widely used security tool that can prevent the interception of sensitive data, either while stored in files or while in transit across networks."

I agree with you, but the second time I read it, it says "prevents data from being intercepted", which is true. The data is encrypted. Therefore, *packets* can be intercepted, but the *data* is still encrypted, and therefore the data itself has not been intercepted, at least not in a useful form. Still could've been worded in a MUCH better way that it was. But I think D is correct.
D is correct
Encryption in wireless networks pushes the data transmitted over the network, making it unreadable to anyone who doesn't have the decryption key.
This prevents unauthorized interception of data as it travels through the network.
D. prevents the interception of data as it transits a network.
Encryption in wireless networks plays a crucial role in preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information by encrypting the data as it travels between devices over the network. This encryption ensures that even if the data is intercepted by an unauthorized party, it remains unreadable and protected. Therefore, option D accurately describes a characteristic of encryption in wireless networks.
Option A is not directly related to encryption but rather pertains to protection against spyware, which is a separate security concern. Option B refers to user authentication rather than encryption. Option C mentions the use of ciphers to detect and prevent zero-day network attacks, which is not a specific characteristic of encryption in wireless networks.
while some can argue for A. D is more correct because while wireless networks are easier to use and connect to that makes it open for people to intercept the message and view. really Id say D is the primary purpose of this.
