Which two protocols can the Cisco APIC-EM use to communicate with supported platforms? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. SNMPv2c C. SSH. Cisco APIC-EM communicates with managed network devices using SNMPv2c for device discovery and monitoring, and SSH for CLI-based configuration and interaction.

Why each option
Cisco APIC-EM communicates with managed network devices using SNMPv2c for device discovery and monitoring, and SSH for CLI-based configuration and interaction.
OpFlex is a policy protocol used in Cisco ACI environments between APIC and leaf/spine switches, not by APIC-EM for southbound device communication.
SNMPv2c is used by Cisco APIC-EM to discover network devices and collect inventory, interface, and topology data from routers and switches in the managed network.
SSH is used by Cisco APIC-EM to establish secure CLI sessions with network devices for tasks such as deploying configurations and executing commands on supported platforms.
HTTPS is the protocol used to access the APIC-EM northbound REST API, not the protocol APIC-EM uses to communicate southbound with network devices.
RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is not a primary southbound communication protocol used by Cisco APIC-EM with managed devices.
OpenFlow is an SDN protocol used in OpenFlow-capable switches and is not a protocol employed by Cisco APIC-EM for device communication.
