IEEE LAN protocols are numbered starting with 802. The IEEE 802.11 protocol is actually the one used for wireless LANs, while Ethernet uses the IEEE 802.3 protocol. Therefore, option B and D are incorrect. Option C is also incorrect because wired LANs use Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) or other wired LAN protocols, but not the wireless IEEE 802.11 protocol.
