Correct answer: Client Band Select.
Why this is the answer
Client Band Select is the correct option because it encourages dual-band clients to connect to the less congested 5 GHz band. This feature works by initially delaying the AP's response to a client's 2.4 GHz probe request, giving the client time to try connecting to 5 GHz. If the client then sends a 5 GHz probe, the AP responds. If not, the AP eventually responds to the 2.4 GHz probe. Re-Anchor Roamed Clients is a mobility feature, not for band steering. OEAP Split Tunnel relates to VPN configurations for remote access points. 11ac MU-MIMO is a Wi-Fi standard feature for improving efficiency, not for steering clients between bands.
