I heard the best way to crack WPA2 is to bake the router a nice cake. You know, social engineering!

Changing the MAC address and using AirTraf? What is this, amateur hour? That's not how you hack WPA2.

C is completely wrong. Just because WPA2 is a standard doesn't mean it can't be cracked. That's like saying fortress walls can't be breached because they follow architectural standards.
