WPA-PSK, where the 'P' stands for 'Paranoia' and the 'S' stands for 'Seriously, how many characters do I need to remember?'

8 to 63 characters for the passphrase? That's a pretty wide range. I hope my cat's name isn't too short!

Wait, WPA-PSK converts the passphrase into a 256-bit key? That's like a secret code within a secret code!

Shared-key WPA is only vulnerable if you use a weak password. Time to get creative with those passphrases!

I'm not sure about C and D. Can someone explain why WPA-PSK converts the passphrase into a 256-bit key and why it requires a specific passphrase length?

I agree with you, Harrison. WPA does provide better security than WEP and shared-key WPA can be vulnerable to password cracking.
