A
FHSS and DSSS
B
THSS and FHSS
C
THSS and DSSS
D
Hybrid technique
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following spread spectrum techniques were used in the original IEEE 802.11 standard? Explanation: Original IEEE 802.11 used both the approaches of FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) and DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum).

Detailed explanation-2: -802.11, uses FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) modulation technique at 2.4 Ghz band and it has a bandwidth of maximum 2 Mbps. Despite its limited bandwidth, 802.11 provide a solid and secure system infrastructure.

Detailed explanation-3: -IEEE 802.11 uses various frequencies including, but not limited to, 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz, and 60 GHz frequency bands. Although IEEE 802.11 specifications list channels that might be used, the radio frequency spectrum availability allowed varies significantly by regulatory domain.

Detailed explanation-4: -IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs use a media access control protocol called Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA).
