Why each option

To prevent an irrelevant fault from appearing in Cisco ACI, an administrator should configure a fault severity policy to ignore specific fault types.

AUnder System -> Faults, right-click on the fault and select Acknowledge Fault so that

Acknowledging a fault marks it as reviewed but does not prevent it from appearing again or being re-raised if the underlying condition persists.

BCreate a stats threshold policy with both rising and falling thresholds defined so that the critical

A stats threshold policy is used to define thresholds for performance metrics that, when crossed, can generate faults, not to prevent specific existing fault types from being raised.

CUnder System -> Faults, right-click on the fault and select Ignore Fault to create a fault severityCorrect

In Cisco ACI, selecting 'Ignore Fault' from the System -> Faults section allows an administrator to create a fault severity policy. This policy downgrades the severity of a specific fault or suppresses it entirely, preventing it from appearing in the fault list when it next occurs. This is the direct mechanism to stop unwanted faults from being raised and displayed.

DCreate a new global health score policy that ignores specific faults as identified by their unique

A global health score policy aggregates health scores but does not prevent individual faults from appearing in the fault monitoring list.
