Explanation

Avaya Aura Session Manager is a SIP-native component, which is the key to this question. B is correct because SM serves as a central registration point for SIP endpoints (phones, softphones, etc.), and C is correct because its primary architectural role is centralized SIP routing - connecting disparate communication systems (Communication Manager, third-party PBXs, SIP trunks) through a single routing policy engine.

The distractors (A, D) are wrong because Session Manager has no role in H.323 - that protocol is handled by Communication Manager (CM), which is the H.323 call controller and gatekeeper. Option E is wrong because DCP (Digital Communications Protocol) endpoints are proprietary digital phones that register directly to Communication Manager, not Session Manager.

Memory tip: Think of SM as the "SIP traffic cop" - everything it does is SIP. If an answer mentions H.323 or digital/DCP phones in the context of SM, it's a trap; those belong to Communication Manager.
