The correct answer is C. Deploying a mesh network in the building. To achieve continuous connectivity and effective coverage throughout a facility, deploying a mesh network is the most suitable solution as it allows access points to communicate with each other wirelessly, extending the network seamlessly without extensive cabling.

Why each option
To achieve continuous connectivity and effective coverage throughout a facility, deploying a mesh network is the most suitable solution as it allows access points to communicate with each other wirelessly, extending the network seamlessly without extensive cabling.
Ad hoc access points create peer-to-peer networks and are not scalable or manageable for enterprise-wide continuous coverage.
Providing more Ethernet drops for user connections does not directly address the need for *wireless* coverage and continuous connectivity.
A mesh network is specifically designed to provide continuous and widespread wireless coverage by allowing multiple access points (APs) to communicate with each other and extend the network dynamically. This creates a self-healing and robust wireless infrastructure, ensuring users maintain connectivity as they move throughout the facility.
Changing the current frequency of the Wi-Fi (e.g., from 2.4GHz to 5GHz) might affect interference or throughput in specific areas but does not inherently guarantee continuous coverage across an entire facility.
