The PMK (Pairwise Master Key) is used to generate the PTK (Pairwise Transient Key) which consists of three keys - temporal key (TK), MIC key (MICK), and encrypt key (ENCK) to be used for communication between a STA (station) and AP (access point) after they have been mutually authenticated. Therefore, the correct choice is C. The AAA Key is used in authentication services, not in the generation of keys for communication. GTK (Group Temporal Key) is used for group communication, not for pairwise communication. PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is a type of authentication method, not a key used for communication.
