Refer to the exhibit. Which component must you create to deploy the application profile?
The correct answer is D. EPG. To deploy an application profile in Cisco ACI, you must create at least one Endpoint Group (EPG), as EPGs are the fundamental constructs that classify endpoints and define policy.

Why each option
To deploy an application profile in Cisco ACI, you must create at least one Endpoint Group (EPG), as EPGs are the fundamental constructs that classify endpoints and define policy.
'Global policy' is not a specific, directly configured component needed to deploy an application profile; policies are applied at a more granular level to EPGs or contracts.
A Private Network (VRF) is an essential component for routing, but an Application Profile itself can exist without a directly configured private network if it's purely Layer 2 or uses an existing private network. EPGs are the core required element within an application profile for policy enforcement.
A Domain (e.g., VMM Domain, Physical Domain) is necessary to associate EPGs with the underlying infrastructure where endpoints connect, but the EPG itself must be created first within the application profile.
An Application Profile in ACI is a logical container for one or more End Point Groups (EPGs). EPGs are critical because they define a collection of endpoints that share common policy requirements, such as security, QoS, and monitoring, and are the smallest entities to which policies are applied. Without an EPG, there are no endpoints to apply policy to within the application profile.
