Refer to the exhibit. An engineer configures communication between the EPGs in different tenants. Which action should be taken to create the subnet?
The correct answer is A. Change Scope to Shared between VRFs. To enable communication between EPGs belonging to different tenants, the subnet used for communication must be explicitly configured with the 'Shared between VRFs' scope.

Why each option
To enable communication between EPGs belonging to different tenants, the subnet used for communication must be explicitly configured with the 'Shared between VRFs' scope.
To enable communication between EPGs located in different tenants, which implies routing between different VRFs, the subnet must be configured with the 'Shared between VRFs' scope. This setting makes the subnet reachable and routable from other VRFs within the ACI fabric.
Leaving the scope as 'Private to VRF' would restrict the subnet's visibility and routability solely to its own VRF, preventing communication with EPGs in other tenants/VRFs.
Adding an L3Out for a route profile is primarily for advertising routes externally or importing external routes, not for enabling internal inter-VRF communication.
Changing the scope to 'Advertised Externally' makes the subnet routable outside the ACI fabric via an L3Out, but it does not inherently enable communication with EPGs in different tenants within the fabric.
