  1. Correct answer is D – Frames are decoded by the 5 GHz radio. When you set RX-SOP set to Medium -78 is the threshold.

    1. Of course 802.11a is only 5Ghz, noone is talking about 2.4Ghz at all.

      The 5Ghz radio will decode the packet just fine because the rxop is set to medium (which drop packets with a rssi of -76. Packets arrive with -78 dBm will be dropt -77 not. So D is the only correct answerds.
