The correct answer is B. N+N. The N+N redundancy model divides the AP load equally across two equal groups of controllers, each running at 50% capacity. If one entire group fails, the surviving group can absorb all APs because it has sufficient remaining capacity. This is distinct from N+1, where only one…

Explanation

The N+N redundancy model divides the AP load equally across two equal groups of controllers, each running at 50% capacity. If one entire group fails, the surviving group can absorb all APs because it has sufficient remaining capacity. This is distinct from N+1, where only one spare controller exists to handle the failure of any single controller. N+N is more resilient and costly since it doubles the controller infrastructure, but it guarantees no AP goes offline as long as at least half the controllers remain operational.
