The correct answer is D. Captive portal.
A captive portal is a web page that is displayed to guests when they attempt to access a public Wi-Fi network. The captive portal requires the guests to provide certain information, such as their name, email address, or phone number, before they are granted access to the network. Once the guests provide the required information, they are granted access to the internet.
In this scenario, the customer wants to set up a guest wireless network without a password. However, to ensure that only authorized guests are using the network, a captive portal can be set up to force guests to provide information before using the network.
Single sign-on (A), RADIUS (B), and TACACS+ (C) are all authentication and access control mechanisms, but they do not provide the same functionality as a captive portal. Single sign-on is a system that allows users to authenticate themselves once and gain access to multiple systems or applications without having to log in again. RADIUS and TACACS+ are both protocols used for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) for network access control. However, they do not provide the same level of guest authentication and information collection as a captive portal.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Captive portal.
