Explanation
SDN stands for Software-Defined Networking. It is an architectural approach that decouples the network control plane (decision-making about where traffic is sent) from the data plane (the actual forwarding of traffic). In cloud environments, SDN allows administrators to programmatically configure and manage network behavior through software rather than manually configuring individual hardware devices, enabling greater flexibility, automation, and scalability. The other options (A, C, D) are fabricated terms not used in networking or cloud computing.
