While the Cisco WLCs always connect to 802.1Q trunks, Cisco lightweight APs do not understand VLAN tagging and must only be connected to the access ports of the neighbor switch.
This is an example switch port configuration from the Catalyst 3750:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/22
description Access Port Connection to Cisco Lightweight AP
switchport access vlan 5
switchport mode access
no shutdown
NO NO Answer is B!
In a Cisco environment, when connecting lightweight access points (APs) in a centralized architecture, you would typically use the "trunk" interface mode. This is because lightweight APs often need to support multiple VLANs to handle different SSIDs and wireless services. The "access" mode is generally used for connecting devices that are not expected to send traffic for multiple VLANs.
Incorrect, Light weight mode AP are configured as access ports to the switch. Autonomous are configured as Trunk to the switch. Lightweight mode, the trunk is configured between WLC and Switch.

Lightweight Access-Points do understand VLAN tagging when in FlexConnect mode, the keyword is 'centralized' here indicating this is a "Local" deployment. Hence the use for an access port, as the user data is tunneled with CAPWAP to the WLC.
