Explanation

Adding a switch to an HPE Aruba Networking Fabric Composer fabric is done through the GUI-based discovery workflow: the Fabric Composer scans the network, discovers eligible switches, and an administrator then assigns discovered switches to the fabric - no manual CLI fabric commands are required on the switch itself. Option A is wrong because fabric-assign is not a real Aruba Fabric Composer CLI command; switch onboarding is orchestrated by the controller, not a switch-side CLI. Option B is wrong because SNMP traps are a monitoring/alerting mechanism, not a provisioning method for adding switches to a fabric. Option D is wrong because DHCP relay is a Layer 3 forwarding feature that has nothing to do with fabric membership assignment.

Memory tip: Think "Fabric Composer = composer conducting the orchestra." The conductor (GUI) discovers and directs the musicians (switches) - the musicians don't configure themselves in. If it's GUI-driven discovery and assignment, it's C.
