Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Enabling MAC filtering allows only specific devices with known MAC addresses to connect to the wireless router, preventing unknown devices from connecting. Disabling SSID broadcasting and implementing a network domain may provide some level of security, but are not as effective in preventing unknown devices from connecting. Toughening the password requirements can improve security, but it does not specifically prevent unknown devices from connecting.
