c. Channel interference from other companies' wireless LANs

Explanation:

Wireless LAN's interference is most likely caused by transmission occurring in the same frequency or/and when transmissions are sent on an adjacent or partially overlapping channel.

Since the company exist in a strip mall with close proximity to other companies, continuous or intermittent connectivity is bound to happen because of the presence of numerous wireless LAN's within the area.
