C Correct answer
Explanation

Adjacent wireless access points operating on the same radio frequency cause co-channel interference, degrading performance and throughput. Using different non-overlapping channels (1, 6, 11 in 2.4GHz) separates RF domains and prevents signal overlap between neighboring APs.
