Suggested Answer: A

IPSec VPN for Secure Multi-Site Connectivity (Correct Answer - A):

NSX-T IPSec VPN provides site-to-site encryption for secure connectivity between branch offices and the corporate data center.

Supports multi-site communication while ensuring data confidentiality and integrity.

Works well for hybrid cloud and remote branch office connections.

Incorrect Options:

(B - GRE Tunnels):

GRE does not provide encryption and is not supported in NSX-T.

(C - Bridging):

L2 bridging is used for extending VLANs between environments, not for site-to-site security.

(D - Federation):

NSX Federation is for managing multiple NSX instances centrally, not for secure branch connectivity.
