Why each option

By default, a fresh Cisco ISE installation on a single node enables all three primary roles: Administration, Policy Service, and Monitoring. This configuration supports full functionality for managing policies, handling authentication/authorization, and collecting operational data.

AAdministration only

Administration only is incorrect because Policy Service and Monitoring roles are also enabled by default.

BInline Posture only

Inline Posture only is incorrect as Inline Posture is an optional service and not a default core role, nor is it the only one enabled.

CAdministration and Pokey Service

'Pokey Service' is not a standard Cisco ISE node role, and while Administration is a default role, this choice includes an invalid service.

DPolicy Service Monitoring, and AdministrationCorrect

When Cisco ISE is deployed as a standalone node (the initial installation), it is configured with all three core services enabled by default: Administration (for managing ISE), Policy Service (for handling authentication/authorization requests), and Monitoring (for logging and reporting). This allows a single node to perform all necessary functions in a small deployment or as a primary node before a distributed deployment.
