Why each option

When designing a network for wireless voice traffic, an administrator must remember that Quality of Service (QoS) needs to be deployed end-to-end, on both the wired LAN and the wireless WLAN segments. This ensures that voice packets receive consistent prioritization and low latency across the entire network path.

AVoice, video, and data traffic must be handled the same way.

Voice, video, and data traffic have different sensitivity to delay, jitter, and loss; handling them the same way would result in poor quality for real-time voice and video traffic.

BQoS must be deployed on the wired LAN and the wireless WLAN.Correct

For optimal wireless voice quality, Quality of Service (QoS) must be deployed comprehensively across the entire network path. This includes both the wired LAN infrastructure, from the IP phones to the access points and beyond, and the wireless WLAN segment, to ensure voice traffic receives appropriate prioritization, low latency, and minimal jitter throughout its journey. End-to-end QoS prevents performance degradation at any point in the network.

CQoS must be deployed only on the wireless WLAN.

Deploying QoS only on the wireless WLAN is insufficient because voice traffic also traverses the wired LAN, where it can experience delays or drops if not properly prioritized, leading to poor call quality.

DUse the default native VLAN for all wireless IP phones.

Using the default native VLAN for all wireless IP phones is a security risk and poor network design practice; voice traffic should be segregated into its own VLAN to isolate it and apply specific QoS policies.
