Explanation

Explanation

Why D is correct: Since both access points are joined to the same wireless LAN controller (WLC), any client movement between them is classified as an intra-controller roam - regardless of the APs being in different AP groups or having different IP addresses. The controller manages the entire roaming process internally, maintaining the client session seamlessly.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (inter-controller) is wrong because that would require the client to move between APs managed by different controllers - that's not the case here.
• B (inter-subnet) is wrong because inter-subnet roaming implies the client moves to a different subnet/VLAN, but the question explicitly states the client VLAN is the same across both AP groups.
• C (intra-VLAN) is not a standard Cisco roaming classification term, making it a distractor designed to confuse candidates who might associate "same VLAN" with a roam type.

Memory Tip: Focus on the controller first, then the subnet. Ask yourself: "Same controller? → Intra-controller. Different controller, same subnet? → Inter-controller. Different subnet? → Inter-subnet." The AP group differences and AP IP addresses are red herrings - what matters is the controller and client VLAN.
