Which option describes a network device that gives wireless devices access to a wired network?

• A. Cable
• B. Wireless
• C. Firewall
• D. Local area network (LAN)

Answer: (D)

The key idea is bridging wireless clients to a wired network. A wireless access point (or wireless router) serves as that bridge, connecting to the wired LAN and broadcasting Wi‑Fi so devices can talk to resources on the network. The LAN represents the actual wired network that these wireless devices access once connected through the AP. The other terms refer to the medium, the wireless capability, or a security device, none of which describe the bridging function itself.
