Q: 10
What does WPA3-Personal use as the source to generate a different Pairwise Master Key (PMK) each
time a station connects to the wireless network?

Option C SAE is what WPA3-Personal relies on for unique PMKs each connection. Pretty sure this is correct.
C or A, but I'm leaning C. The source of PMK generation in WPA3-Personal is the SAE handshake (option C), since that's the protocol that does it each time a client connects-session data like MACs and nonces are just inputs to that exchange. If they were asking about what info is used, A would be right, but they're asking which mechanism. I think exam writers expect C. Anyone disagree?
C . SAE is specifically designed to create a unique PMK each time, not just reusing PSKs like WPA2. Makes WPA3 much stronger against offline attacks. Pretty certain that's what the question is after.
Hmm, I'd actually pick A. The PMK in WPA3-Personal is generated using session-specific info like MACs and nonces every time a device connects, right? Maybe I'm mixing up the process with the protocol name, so not totally sure here. Agree?
Are we sure it's not A? Session-specific info like MACs and nonces actually goes into PMK generation, so that seems plausible too.
Feels like C for this one. Had something like this in a mock, and SAE is what creates a new PMK each connect in WPA3-Personal. Not 100% but pretty sure that's the protocol they want here. Agree?
C imo. SAE is the handshake used in WPA3-Personal, which generates a new PMK every time based on the password, MACs, and nonces. A looks tempting but it's actually part of the SAE process, not a standalone method.
I don’t think it’s C. Session-specific info like MACs/nonces matters, A. Official guide clarifies this.
C Most guides and practice exams mention SAE as the WPA3-Personal handshake that creates unique PMKs each time.
Maybe A
