Why each option

To divert traffic from a private network to an ISP network in Cisco SD-WAN, an administrator should configure a data policy.

Aconfigure the control policy

Control policies primarily influence the control plane by affecting route advertisements and policy distribution, rather than directly manipulating data plane forwarding for specific traffic paths.

Bconfigure the data policyCorrect

Data policies in Cisco SD-WAN are used to manipulate data plane traffic forwarding, allowing administrators to define how specific traffic flows are steered across the overlay. To divert traffic from a private network segment to an ISP network, a data policy would be configured to match the traffic of interest and direct it out through the appropriate WAN interface connected to the ISP.

Cconfigure the data security policy

Data security policies focus on encryption, authentication, and access control for data traffic, not on diverting traffic paths.

Dconfigure the application aware policy

Application-aware policies are a specific type of data policy that classifies traffic based on application, but the broader mechanism for traffic diversion is the data policy itself.
