Which feature must be incorporated into the network design to allow seamless Layer 3 roaming between controllers?

The correct answer is B. Mobility groups. Mobility groups allow multiple controllers to share client context, enabling a client to retain its IP address when roaming across subnet boundaries.

Why each option

Mobility groups allow multiple controllers to share client context, enabling a client to retain its IP address when roaming across subnet boundaries.

ASame VLANs across controllers

Using the same VLANs across controllers would force Layer 2 adjacency and effectively removes the Layer 3 boundary rather than enabling seamless roaming across it.

BMobility groupsCorrect

Mobility groups allow Cisco WLCs to communicate client association state over a mobility tunnel so that when a client roams to an AP joined to a different controller, the anchor controller preserves the original IP assignment. This anchor-foreign relationship is what makes Layer 3 roaming seamless without requiring shared VLANs.

CClient load balancing

Client load balancing distributes clients across APs to manage AP utilization but has no role in maintaining IP address continuity during a roam.

DLink aggregation

Link aggregation combines physical uplinks for increased bandwidth and redundancy on a single controller but does not provide any roaming or client mobility function.
