C is correct. The WPA3 standard also replaces the pre-shared key (PSK) exchange with Simultaneous Authentication of Equals as defined in IEEE 802.11-2016 resulting in a more secure initial key exchange in personal mode.

Selected Answer: C

WPA3 Encryption WPA3- Personal: This mode is mainly used to deliver password-based authentication. WPA3 is more rigid to attacks than WPA2 because it uses a modern key establishment protocol called the Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE), also known as Dragonfly Key Exchange, which replaces the PSK concept used in WPA2- Personal. Resistance to offline dictionary attacks: It prevents passive password attacks such as brute- forcing. (P.2207/2191)
