A is correct

You can configure the LAN uplink interface of a FlexConnect AP as either an access port or as a trunk. If you configure the interface \as an access port, then the AP’s management traffic and all client traffic, whether centrally or locally switched, will be in the same VLAN. For security and reliability reasons, we recommend that you segregate the client traffic from the management VLAN, and so to configure the AP’s switchport as a trunk, with separately tagged VLANs for locally switched client traffic.

When a lightweight access point (AP) is configured in FlexConnect mode with local switching and VLAN tagging, it typically uses a **trunk** port to connect to the wired network. This allows the AP to carry traffic for multiple VLANs, each identified by its VLAN tag. So, the correct answer is: A. **trunk**
