Correct answer & explanation

AP obtains IP address via DHCP

The CAPWAP process starts with the AP obtaining an IP address (via DHCP), then discovering the WLC (via DHCP option 43 or DNS). The AP sends a Discovery Request, the WLC replies with a Discovery Response, and finally the AP sends a Join Request to establish the control tunnel.
