Which kind of dependencies should be avoided when implementing secure design principles in software-defined networking (SDN)?

The correct answer is B. Circular. Circular dependencies occur when two or more components or entities depend on each other in a way that creates a circular chain of dependencies. This can lead to issues such as deadlock, where components wait for each other indefinitely, and it can make the system more difficult

Explanation

Circular dependencies occur when two or more components or entities depend on each other in a way that creates a circular chain of dependencies. This can lead to issues such as deadlock, where components wait for each other indefinitely, and it can make the system more difficult to manage and secure. To ensure the reliability and security of an SDN environment, it's important to minimize or eliminate circular dependencies among components.
