Correct answer: The access point is part of the fabric overlay..
Why this is the answer
In Cisco SD-Access wireless deployments, the access point (AP) functions as a fabric edge node. This means the AP is responsible for encapsulating client traffic into VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) tunnels, effectively making it part of the fabric overlay. The AP extends the fabric to wireless clients, allowing them to participate in the SD-Access virtual networks. Incorrect options: The wireless client is part of the fabric overlay: Wireless clients connect to the AP, which then handles the fabric encapsulation. Clients themselves are not direct participants in the VXLAN overlay. The access point is part of the fabric underlay: The underlay provides the physical connectivity and IP reachability between fabric devices. APs operate at a higher layer, encapsulating traffic over the underlay. The WLC is part of the fabric underlay: The Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) manages the APs but is typically an external control plane element, not directly part of the data plane underlay or overlay for client traffic forwarding within the fabric.
