A.
Centrally in the building

B.
WAPs should be placed at each corner

C.
In the server room

D.
Inside a secure room

Explanation:
The more centrally located the WAP is the less of its range can extend beyond the building, making it more difficult for intruders to attempt to access the wireless network.

Answer option C is incorrect. The server room is not a good place for WAP. It will probably be less accessible to users, and if the server room is near the perimeter of the building, will not address the problem described.

Answer option B is incorrect. Placing a WAP near a building corner will guarantee that a lot of its coverage area extends beyond the building making it easier for attackers to access the wireless network.

Answer option D is incorrect. The locating of the WAP inside a room, of any kind, is irrelevant to this question.
