I think its D, since MAC filter wont even allow him to connect
If the signal is too low, he will see very high packet loss thus not able to access anything.

You are right easy. When trying to connect to a wi-fi router, the connection is based on MAC address. Since the MAC filtering allows only pre approved MAC addresses to connect, it will reject the connection attempts from unlisted addresses.

I think it’s A. because encryption is too strong. maybe encryption of resources are too strong.

It’s C for sure, as the MAC of the Wireless card is different than the wired one (two different NICs). The W MAC is approved for wireless, but for wired.

Well. The answer is daft and is reached by a process of elimination.
The point to bear in mind is that JOE was able to connect his device to the Wireless network.
This in itself eliminates the following:
A- The encryption is too strong. This has no bearing on the access issue at hand
B- The network SSID is disabled. If the SSID was disabled, Joe would have not been able to see it to connect to it in the first place. The fact is that Joe is connected anyways, so this has no bearing whatsoever on the matter at hand.
C-MAC filtering is enabled. If this were the case, Joe would have not been able to connect in the first place, least of all access any resources
So really the only option is that D-The wireless antenna power is set too low (weak connection)
