Why each option

To apply new policy without disruption, a CoA Reauth message forces an endpoint to re-authenticate its session with ISE.

APort Bounce

Port Bounce physically brings the port down and then back up, which disrupts the endpoint's connectivity, contrary to the requirement.

BCoA Terminate

CoA Terminate immediately ends the authenticated session, which is a disruptive action.

CCoA ReauthCorrect

A Change of Authorization (CoA) Reauth message forces an already authenticated endpoint to re-authenticate its session with Cisco ISE. This process triggers a new authentication flow, allowing ISE to apply updated authorization policies without physically disconnecting or 'bouncing' the port, thereby minimizing disruption to the user and application.

DCoA Session Query

CoA Session Query is used to retrieve information about an existing session, not to force a re-authentication or policy update.
