Correct answer: It is in local mode and must be connected directly to the fabric edge switch..
Why this is the answer
A fabric access point (AP) in a Cisco SD-Access environment operates in local mode because it is directly connected to a fabric edge switch. The edge switch provides the CAPWAP tunnel termination and handles the data plane forwarding for the AP. This direct connection allows the AP to leverage the fabric's overlay network for client segmentation and policy enforcement. Connecting to a border node is incorrect because border nodes connect the fabric to external networks, not directly to APs. FlexConnect mode is used for APs in remote branches where direct connectivity to the WLC or fabric edge is not always available, allowing them to operate autonomously.
