I think the most likely answer is D, because when a STA sends a Probe Request it's usually trying to find a BSS to connect to.

I'm not sure, but I think C is unlikely because the STA's WLAN adaptor being disabled doesn't seem to fit the situation.

I think the answer could also be A, the WLAN adaptor is configured in promiscuous mode.

I agree with Nathalie, it makes sense that the STA is looking for available BSSs.

No, I believe the STA's WLAN adapter might be disabled, causing the zero length SSID element.

Could it be that the WLAN adapter is configured in promiscuous mode instead?

But the length of the SSID element being zero suggests that the STA is discovering a list of available BSSs.
