Why each option
In Cisco SD-Access, the segmentation created by Virtual Networks (VNs) for broad separation of users and resources into distinct routing and forwarding domains is known as macro-segmentation. This provides coarse-grained isolation between different groups or functions within the network.
"Stretched" typically refers to extending Layer 2 domains across physically separate locations, not the specific term for the segmentation provided by Virtual Networks in SD-Access.
Micro-segmentation in SD-Access is achieved using Security Group Tags (SGTs) to enforce granular, policy-based access control -within- a Virtual Network, not by the Virtual Networks themselves.
Virtual Networks (VNs) in Cisco SD-Access are used to implement macro-segmentation, providing broad, coarse-grained separation of users, devices, and resources into distinct routing and forwarding domains, ensuring their traffic is completely isolated from other VNs.
"Inter-VN" describes traffic that flows -between- different Virtual Networks, but it does not describe the -type of segmentation- that the Virtual Networks themselves provide.
