Explanation

A is correct because NWAM distinguishes between automatic and explicit (manual) location activation. When you explicitly enable a location using nwamadm enable, NWAM treats it as intentional and holds it active indefinitely - it will not switch away automatically until an administrator explicitly changes it.

D is correct because on multi-NIC systems, NWAM evaluates each interface's conditions independently, allowing it to automatically activate multiple locations simultaneously to handle different network environments on different links.

B is wrong because wireless security keys are managed via nwamcfg (configuration) and nwamadm (activation); nwammgr is not a real NWAM command.

C is wrong because NWAM stores its own profile data under /etc/nwam/; the files /etc/ipadm/ipadm.conf and /etc/dladm/datalink.conf belong to the DefaultFixed NCP's persistent layer, not NWAM profiles.

E is wrong because Interface NCUs pair with a specific Link NCU - they don't "float" or reassign themselves dynamically based on priority.

F is wrong (or at least a distractor) because that behavior describes the DefaultFixed NCP, which uses the legacy persistent config - the opposite of NWAM's automatic management model.

Memory tip: Think of NWAM as a "hands-off vs. hands-on" system - automatic locations respond to changing conditions, but explicit ones stay put (A). And with multiple NICs, NWAM can juggle multiple locations at once (D). The key commands are nwamcfg and nwamadm - if you see nwammgr, it's a trap.
