Apple DEP-2025 Exam - Topic 9 Question 16 Discussion

Managed Distribution requires Apple Business Manager (ABM) or Apple School Manager (ASM) to purchase and assign apps, books, or custom content to users or devices, which are then deployed via MDM. An Apple Developer account (option A) is for custom app creation, not distribution management. User acceptance (option C) may be needed for non-supervised devices but isn't a requirement for the feature itself. A VPN configuration (option D) is unrelated. The Apple Business Manager User Guide mandates ABM/ASM for Managed Distribution.
