Explanation
Option A is correct because in the thin AP and AC discovery process, checking a pre-configured static AC IP address list is always the first step before any dynamic methods are attempted. If the AP has been manually configured with one or more AC IP addresses, it will try to establish a connection using those addresses immediately upon startup. Only if no static list exists or the listed ACs are unreachable will the AP proceed to dynamic discovery methods such as DHCP Option 43, DNS resolution, or broadcast. Option B is wrong because it contradicts the defined sequence in protocols like CAPWAP, where static configuration takes priority over all automatic discovery mechanisms.
Memory tip: Think of it as "manual before automatic" - a network device always trusts what an administrator explicitly configured before resorting to self-discovery.
