PUT. Automation questions depend on recognizing controllers, APIs, data formats, HTTP methods, and cloud-service characteristics. Cisco CCNA 200-301 v1.1 includes this under Automation and Programmability, where the expected skill is identifying the mechanism that actually satisfies the scenario. The wording usually gives the decisive clue: a protocol number, a route prefix, a control-plane role, a wireless security method, or a management command. The wrong options mix controller functions with data-plane forwarding or confuse API operations with unrelated management terms. In a real network, selecting the wrong option would usually produce a failed adjacency, broken client connectivity, insecure management access, or an incorrect forwarding path. The selected answer matches the Cisco behavior and configuration model required by the question, so it is retained as the verified answer for this item.
