Explanation

SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is the primary signaling protocol in Avaya Aura® because the platform was architected around SIP as its core communication standard - the Avaya Session Manager, the central routing element, is fundamentally a SIP proxy/registrar. H.323 (A) is an older ITU standard that Avaya supports for legacy interoperability but is not the primary protocol in modern Aura deployments. SCCP (C) is Cisco's proprietary Skinny Client Control Protocol, used with Cisco Call Manager - it has no native role in Avaya environments. MGCP (D) is a media gateway control protocol used to control media gateways, not for end-to-end call signaling between endpoints.

Memory tip: Think "Aura = SIP" - both are modern, standards-based, and session-oriented. If you remember that Avaya Session Manager is the heart of Aura, and Session Manager is a SIP engine, the answer locks in.
