What are the two advantages of configuration groups in a Cisco SD-WAN deployment? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. Individual devices are grouped based on a shared configuration. Configuration groups in Cisco SD-WAN allow devices with shared configuration requirements to be grouped for centralized management and enable individual devices to be associated with both a device template for base configuration and a configuration group for shared policies.

Why each option
Configuration groups in Cisco SD-WAN allow devices with shared configuration requirements to be grouped for centralized management and enable individual devices to be associated with both a device template for base configuration and a configuration group for shared policies.
The concept of "multiple tag rules" for an individual device is related to policy matching, not a core advantage of configuration groups for applying shared configurations.
Configuration groups consolidate devices that require similar settings, allowing administrators to apply common configurations to multiple devices efficiently without modifying individual device templates.
A fundamental principle of configuration management is to avoid conflicting configurations; typically, a device is associated with one primary configuration group for its core shared settings, rather than multiple, potentially conflicting groups.
While tags can be used to identify devices, configuration groups are about applying configurations to groups of devices, not solely about identifying a subset with tags.
