Which component of IEEE 802.1X represents the device that wants to gain access to the network?

B) Authenticator

D) Supplicant

D
Explanation: There are three primary IEEE 802.1x components: supplicant, authenticator, and the authentication server. The supplicant is the device that wants to gain access to the network. The authenticator is used to forward the supplicant's authentication request to the authentication server. The authentication server is the device that is responsible for maintaining user credentials and authenticating the supplicant's requests.
