Answer options

• A. Basic service set
• B. Extended service set
• C. Independent basic service set
• D. MU-MIMO

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Independent basic service set, which allows devices to connect directly to each other in an ad-hoc network without the need for an access point.
