Correct Answer: B
Flex Connect also known as HREAP by the old timers, allows data traffic to be switched locally and not go back to the controller. It basically causes the AP to behave like an autonomous AP, but be managed by the WLC. In this mode, the AP can still function even if it looses connection with the controller.
