Answer options

• B. Central AP management requires more complex configurations.
• C. Unique SSIDs cannot use the same authentication method.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a Cisco Wireless LAN Controller allows for centralized management, which simplifies the process by eliminating the need to configure each access point one by one. Option B is incorrect as centralized management typically reduces complexity, not increases it. Options C and D do not pertain to the benefits of using a Wireless LAN Controller in this context.
