A C and E for me please trip.

 

My guess is B, C and E

 

Correct answer is ADE. A client can authenticate to more than one access point at a time but can only associate with one at a time. Preauthentication speeds up the process of roaming because you don't have to go through the authentication and association process each time you engage a different AP.

Good one. More later
