Refer to the exhibit. Global multicast has been configured for multicast-multicast, but multicast is not functioning on any of the WLANs in the network. Which action enables multicast?
The correct answer is C. Enable the Multicast VLAN feature. When multicast-multicast mode is configured globally on a Cisco WLC, the Multicast VLAN feature must also be enabled to provide a dedicated VLAN over which the WLC delivers multicast streams to APs.

Why each option
When multicast-multicast mode is configured globally on a Cisco WLC, the Multicast VLAN feature must also be enabled to provide a dedicated VLAN over which the WLC delivers multicast streams to APs.
AP mode (local vs. FlexConnect) does not affect the WLC's ability to deliver multicast traffic; the failure described is a WLC-level VLAN configuration issue, not an AP mode issue.
The radio policy on a WLAN controls which 802.11 radio bands (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, or both) are used for client association and has no effect on multicast forwarding or delivery.
In multicast-multicast mode, the WLC maps each WLAN's multicast traffic to a specific multicast group address and forwards it over a dedicated Multicast VLAN toward the APs. If the Multicast VLAN feature is not enabled and a multicast VLAN is not designated, the WLC has no VLAN context through which to deliver those multicast groups, causing multicast to silently fail on all WLANs even though the global mode is correctly set.
The question states that global multicast is already configured for multicast-multicast mode, so re-enabling the same mode at the WLAN level is redundant and does not resolve the missing Multicast VLAN configuration.
