On a Cisco autonomous AP, the maximum number of attempts to send a packet (packet retries) is set to 32 by default.
Which statement about the result when the AP has tried to send a packet for that number of attempts and no response is received from the client is true?

The maximum data retries setting determines the number of attempts the wireless device makes to send a packet before giving up and dropping the packet.
The default setting is 32

When the access point (AP) has tried to send a packet for the specified number of attempts, and no response is received from the client, one of the following events takes place:
A. The access point drops the packet: If the access point has tried to send a packet for the maximum number of attempts and no response is received from the client, the AP may drop the packet. This is because it assumes that the client is not reachable, and further attempts to send the packet are unlikely to be successful. The AP may also drop the packet if the client has already disassociated or deauthenticated from the AP.
B. The access point resets the radio interface: In some cases, the AP may reset the radio interface if it has tried to send a packet for the maximum number of attempts, and no response is received from the client. This may be done to try and clear any congestion or interference that may be affecting the radio signal.
C. The access point disassociates the client: If the access point has tried to send a packet for the maximum number of attempts and no response is received from the client, the AP may disassociate the client. This means that the client is no longer associated with the AP, and will need to re-associate if it wishes to continue communication with the AP.
D. The client MAC address is excluded for 60 seconds: If the access point has tried to send a packet for the maximum number of attempts and no response is received from the client, the AP may exclude the client MAC address for a period of 60 seconds. This means that the client will not be able to communicate with the AP for the duration of the exclusion period. The AP may also exclude the client MAC address if it detects that the client is transmitting excessive invalid frames, which could be an indication of malicious activity.
In summary, the behavior of a Cisco autonomous AP when it has tried to send a packet for the maximum number of attempts and no response is received from the client can vary depending on the configuration and circumstances. It may drop the packet, reset the radio interface, disassociate the client, or exclude the client MAC address for a period of time.
