When a FlexConnect access point enters standalone mode, it disassociates all clients that are on centrally switched WLANs. [ not all clients, locally switched WLAN clients stay connected]
Controller-dependent activities, such as network access control (NAC) and web authentication (guest access), are disabled, and the access point does not send any intrusion detection system (IDS) reports to the controller.
Most radio resource management (RRM) features (such as neighbor discovery; noise, interference, load, and coverage measurements; use of the neighbor list; and rogue containment and detection) are disabled. However, a FlexConnect access point supports dynamic frequency selection in standalone mode.

in my oppinion it should be D. It's the question for catching you , make you wrong and bring your money to Cisco again :) Read the question several time please, each word. they asked about "standalone" mode, it's a sub mode only within FlexConnect mode, it's not about local and flexconnect. So, an AP won't be rebooted 100%. The key word in the C option is "all" wlans, but in the book we have an exact phrase which means that all clients with centrally switched wlans only will be disconected, it's not all wlans. By exception method D is correct.

When AP is changed from local mode to FlexConnect mode, the AP does not reboot. However, when the AP is changed from FlexConnect mode to local mode, the AP reboots and displays the following error message:
Warning: Changing AP Mode will reboot the AP and will rejoin the controller after a few minutes. Are you sure you want to continue?
Sorry, its D. Same webpage;
If a FlexConnect AP should lose its CAPWAP connection to its controller, it goes into Standalone mode. In Standalone mode, any Centrally Switched WLANs are down, but Locally Switched WLANs remain operational.
Selected Answer: C

Standalone Mode is a submode of a flexconnect AP. A flexconnect falls into the 'standalone mode' when it looses connection to the WLC, so no reboot occurs.
Thank you - Finally Found it:-
When a FlexConnect access point enters standalone mode, it disassociates all clients that are on centrally switched WLANs. For web-authentication WLANs, existing clients are not disassociated, but the FlexConnect access point stops sending beacons when the number of associated clients reaches zero (0). It also sends disassociation messages to new clients associating to web-authentication WLANs. Controller-dependent activities, such as network access control (NAC) and web authentication (guest access), are disabled, and the access point does not send any intrusion detection system (IDS) reports to the controller. Most radio resource management (RRM) features (such as neighbor discovery; noise, interference, load, and coverage measurements; use of the neighbor list; and rogue containment and detection) are disabled. However, a FlexConnect access point supports dynamic frequency selection in standalone mode.

Not a Great Question :(
D is correct.
