An engineer observes high usage on the 2.4GHz channels and lower usage on the 5GHz channels. What must be configured to allow clients to preferentially use 5GH2 access points?

The correct answer is D. Client Band Select. Band Select is Cisco's terminology for Band Steering. When enabled it encourages stations onto the 5 GHz band. This is achieved by suppressing 2.4 GHz probe response frames to station probe requests and by responding with 5 GHz probe response frames first.
