Answer options

• A. Devices will be released based on the draft amendment and the draft amendment features are part of the standard.
• B. No impact: Until an amendment is ratified, it does not become part of the standard.
• C. No impact: Draft amendments do not become part of the standard until a working group is formed.
• D. The standard is changed to reflect the new capabilities as soon as an amendment enters the draft stage.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because until an IEEE 802.11 amendment is ratified, it is not officially incorporated into the standard. Options A, C, and D incorrectly suggest that draft amendments have immediate effects or are incorporated prematurely, which is not the case.
