WiFi
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Wired Ethernet is not hack proof, however when physical security is maintained to include your router, modem, or gateway, you are a bit more hack resistant.

Detailed explanation-2: -From a security standpoint, using an Ethernet cable makes your connection much more secure. A hacker must access its cable and router to attack a device over an Ethernet connection. In contrast, someone can much more easily intercept Wi-Fi traffic as it’s transmitted through the air.

Detailed explanation-3: -Yes, it’s absolutely possible for your home network to get hacked. There are a couple of ways hackers can gain access to your network. One common method is to guess the password. It sounds simple, but routers often come with a preset default password that the manufacturer uses for all devices.

Detailed explanation-4: -Disadvantage: Limited Flexibility Of course, ethernet cables have less flexibility than Wi-Fi signals. You face constraints on cable length and bend radius. You may not be able to arrange a desk or workplace exactly how you want it since you must accommodate the additional wires.

Detailed explanation-5: -While they are generally quite hardy, there is always a risk that Ethernet cables can be damaged, especially if you plug and unplug them often.
