Why each option
Ansible is agentless, requiring no software on managed nodes, and its playbooks are written in YAML format.
Ansible communicates with managed nodes over SSH or WinRM without requiring any agent or daemon installed on the target systems, reducing setup overhead. Playbooks, which define the ordered set of automation tasks to execute, are authored in YAML, a human-readable structured data format.
Ansible is agentless rather than agent-based - it pushes configuration over SSH and does not require persistent software running on managed nodes.
Ansible is agentless and uses YAML for playbooks, not XML - XML is used by protocols such as NETCONF, not Ansible automation.
While Ansible is correctly identified as agentless in this option, playbooks are formatted in YAML, not XML.
