Explanation

A wireless access point (AP) acts as a bridge between wireless and wired networks. Its primary function is converting wireless 802.11 frames into wired 802.3 Ethernet frames so devices can communicate across network types. APs do not typically provide DHCP services (A and B) or act as network gateways (D).
