Why each option

SDN is most commonly deployed in mobile and wide area networks to enable centralized control, programmability, and dynamic traffic management.

Acontrol network

Control network refers to the control plane within the SDN architecture itself, not a type of real-world network where SDN is deployed.

Bmobile networkCorrect

Mobile networks use SDN to support network function virtualization and dynamic resource allocation across radio access and core network segments, making centralized programmability essential.

Cwide area networkCorrect

Wide area networks leverage SDN (commonly implemented as SD-WAN) to provide centralized policy management, dynamic path selection, and cost-efficient transport across geographically distributed sites.

Dapplication network

Application network describes the application layer or application plane in the SDN model, not a distinct network type that SDN is deployed into.

Emetro network

Metro networks are not a primary or commonly cited SDN deployment target in standard SDN literature compared to mobile and WAN environments.
