Explanation

Option A is correct because modern wireless management systems (such as enterprise AC controllers) support offline AP provisioning - an administrator can pre-configure an AP's settings in the controller before the device is physically connected. Once the AP is powered on and reaches the network, the controller already recognizes it and pushes the stored configuration, allowing it to come online immediately without additional manual setup.

Option B is incorrect because it assumes offline addition leaves the AP in an incomplete or pending state that prevents it from connecting - this misunderstands how offline provisioning works. The whole purpose of adding an AP offline is precisely to make the online transition seamless.

Memory tip: Think of offline AP addition like pre-registering a guest before a conference - when they arrive (come online), check-in is instant because everything is already set up in the system.
