IEEE 802.1X is a network access control protocol that provides an authentication mechanism for devices wishing to connect to a LAN or WLAN. It ensures that only approved devices are granted access to the network, thereby preventing unauthorized devices from connecting. This makes it impossible for someone to disconnect a camera and connect another device to eavesdrop on the network. Therefore, the correct answer is B).
