Explanation
Answer: A - The best solution for a jamming attack is to use a spectrum analyzer to locate the RF source and then remove it.

Jamming is one of many exploits used to compromise the wireless environment. It denies service to authorized users as legitimate traffic is jammed by the overwhelming frequencies of illegitimate traffic. You should find and remove the jamming signal. If you are not able to remove the signal, use the wireless LAN in another frequency spectrum to avoid the interference.
