A is confirmed as per study guide page 80;

AP Discovery Methods
FortiAP devices cycle through six methods to locate and connect to FortiGate:

DHCP
• By default, FortiAP uses DHCP option 138 to get the controller IP

Static
• You can configure FortiAP with a static controller IP

DNS
• FortiAP can discover the controller by using a hostname configured in the AC_HOSTNAME_1 parameter

FortiLAN Cloud
• FortiAP uses the hostname apctrl1.forticloud.com for FortiLAN Cloud management

Multicast
• FortiAP can discover the controller by using the multicast address 224.0.1.140

Broadcast
• FortiAP broadcasts a discovery request to locate the controller

    Hi admin, on pg 80 from study guide the sequence/cycle list starts with Static and then DHCP, so the first discovery method on default seems to be C. Static.
