Explanation

VMware SD-WAN Edge supports exactly three certificate authentication modes: Certificate Enabled (PKI authentication is active and enforced), Certificate Disabled (no certificate-based authentication is used), and Certificate Accepted (the Edge will accept certificates from peers but does not strictly require them). These three represent the full spectrum of certificate enforcement - off, permissive, and on.

The distractors fail because they use terminology that does not exist in the VMware SD-WAN configuration schema: "Certificate Optional" (B) is conceptually similar to "Accepted" but is not a valid mode name; "Certificate Activated" (D) and "Certificate Required" (F) are plausible-sounding but fabricated - VMware uses "Enabled," not "Activated" or "Required," for the enforced mode.

Memory tip: Think D-A-E as a dial from off to fully on - Disabled → Accepted → Enabled - matching the progression from no certificates, to tolerating them, to requiring them.
