Explanation

The correct arrangement maps three characteristics to two networking types: Intent-Based Networking (IBN) is focused on the network as a whole, accepts user input as a policy (high-level business intent), and uses an allow list (whitelist) security model where only explicitly permitted traffic is allowed. Traditional networking is focused on individual devices, accepts user input as a configuration (manual CLI/device-level commands), and uses a block list (blacklist) security model where traffic is permitted unless explicitly denied. This distinction reflects the fundamental architectural shift IBN makes from device-centric, manual management to network-wide, policy-driven automation.
