20 MHz is absolutely correct. The wider the channel, the higher the risk that somewhere in its frequency range it will be hit with interference. Since 2.4 GHz is an especially crowded band, you want to avoid the risk of interference, even though it means that each mobile client will be stuck with less overall bandwidth for their connection

Selected Answer: B
The 2.4GHz band only has a few non-overlapping channels (channels 1, 6, and 11). If you use 20MHz width, each channel stays nice and narrow, reducing overlap and cutting down interference between nearby access points. Wider channels (like 40MHz or bigger) would overlap a lot more, creating more collisions and slower speeds, especially in a dense environment where tons of devices are close together. It wouldn't be 11MHz because its not a standard wifi channel width, its not used.

Correct answer: B. 20 MHz Why? In the 2.4 GHz band, the only widely supported channel width defined by 802.11 standards is 20 MHz. At that width you get three non-overlapping channels in North America (1, 6, 11). Narrower channels mean fewer adjacent-channel collisions. If you try to bond channels into 40 MHz (or wider) you consume most of the already-crowded 2.4 GHz spectrum, leaving little room for neighboring APs and greatly increasing co-channel and adjacent-channel interference. The other options are either too wide (40/80/160 MHz, suited to 5 GHz or 6 GHz where there is more spectrum) or non-standard for 2.4 GHz WLANs (11 MHz isn’t an IEEE-specified width)
