Explanation

In a distributed wireless architecture, multiple WLCs are deployed locally-typically per building or per floor-each managing the APs in its immediate area. This matches the scenario: six buildings, each with its own WLC in the IDF. A centralized architecture (A) would place a single WLC (or clustered WLCs) in a central data center or main MDF serving all buildings' APs. A cloud architecture (C) hosts WLC functionality in a cloud platform (e.g., Cisco Meraki). An autonomous architecture (D) requires no WLC at all-each AP operates independently with its own full configuration. The per-building WLC model is definitively distributed.
