A and B are the two most plausible answers. But A is kind of vague on purpose to get ya, if a business has clients throughout, then I'm more than sure that the security/IT dept. has host-based security on all of the workstations. THEREFORE, making 'B' the shining star through logic.

The answer is B. Read the question it says "a security administrator found another device providing internet access to certain employees". Thats a rogue access point.

Going with C on that one. SSID can be easily hidden and allow only users knowing the SSID and pwd to connect to it. Note that only "certain" employees access the second device. It does not look like an incident, rather someone tired of the filter wanting to access blocked content.

Man, it is a rogue access point. Nothing more; nothing less.
