Refer to the exhibit. Which two components should be configured as route reflectors in the ACI fabric? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. Spine1 C. Spine2. In a Cisco ACI fabric, the spine switches are configured as BGP route reflectors to facilitate route distribution across the fabric's leaf switches.

Why each option
In a Cisco ACI fabric, the spine switches are configured as BGP route reflectors to facilitate route distribution across the fabric's leaf switches.
Spine switches are designed to act as BGP route reflectors in the ACI fabric underlay, distributing routes learned from leaf switches to other leaf switches.
APIC controllers manage the ACI fabric policy and orchestration but do not participate in the data plane routing as route reflectors.

Leaf switches connect to endpoints and act as forwarding devices, reflecting routes to spines, but they are not configured as fabric-wide route reflectors.
