Explanation
Bridge mode is correct (A) because in LeaderAP (also called Fat AP or AC+AP) networking architectures, bridge mode allows the LeaderAP to forward traffic directly without performing NAT or DHCP functions itself, which reduces processing overhead and enables it to support a larger number of associated FITAPs (Fit APs / thin APs). Gateway mode forces the LeaderAP to handle routing, NAT, and address assignment, which consumes more resources and caps the number of manageable FITAPs at a lower ceiling.
Option B is wrong because it contradicts the established behavior - gateway mode's additional Layer 3 responsibilities create a bottleneck that limits scale, making it the less capable mode for large FITAP deployments.
Memory tip: Think "Bridge = Bigger scale." A bridge just passes traffic through (lightweight), while a gateway has to process everything (heavyweight) - more work means fewer APs it can juggle.
