Show answer and explanation

Answer: B. Because anyone, including hackers, can see what you are doing on an "open" network.

Explanation: Open networks (ones without passwords) are like talking in a crowded room—anyone nearby can "overhear" your data. It is safer to wait until you are on a private, password-protected network.
