CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 230

A coffee shop owner wants to restrict internet access to only paying customers by prompting them for a receipt number. Which of the following is the best method to use given this requirement?

Answer options

• A. WPA3
• B. Captive portal
• C. PSK
• D. IEEE 802.1X

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best approach for this scenario is a Captive portal, as it allows the coffee shop to present a login page where customers can enter their receipt number to gain access to the internet. WPA3, PSK, and IEEE 802.1X do not provide the specific functionality needed to restrict access based on payment confirmation.
