Acentralize the management of access points in an enterprise networkCorrect

Wireless LAN Controllers (WLCs) provide a single point of administration for configuring, deploying, monitoring, and updating multiple access points, significantly simplifying the management of large-scale wireless networks.

Bsupport standalone or controller-based architectures

While APs can support standalone or controller-based modes, the controller's role is to *be* the centralized management component in a controller-based architecture, not to support the *existence* of both architectures.

Cserve as the first line of defense in an enterprise network
Dprovide secure user logins to devices on the network.
