Answer: A - Disable the SSID broadcast feature on the Wireless Access Point to disable broadcasting the name of the network.

Key Takeaway: SSID is a function performed by an access point that transmits its name so that wireless stations searching for a network connection can discover it. It allows your wireless adapter’s wireless software to give you a list of the Access Points in range. Having SSID broadcast disabled essentially makes your access point invisible unless a wireless client already knows the SSID, or is using tools that monitor or “sniff” traffic from an AP’s associated clients.
