Answer:

B. Have the user press the appropriate function key combination to enable the wireless radio and then attempt to connect to the wireless network.

Explanation:

Every more often than not, users may experience wireless connection problems. How they respond to these issues solely depends on various factors. When a user like this has issues connecting to the network, first on the list of proper troubleshooting procedures is to check whether the wireless adapter or the function key that turns the wireless radio connection on is toggled on. Sometimes the most obvious causes are the hardest to see. The user should check this first because it will save him or her lots of troubleshooting time if the switch was simply physically disabled.
