Explanation

Fabric Agent is correct because it is the per-node component of SmartFabric Services Engine that runs on each individual switching node, receiving and applying configuration changes specific to that switch.

Option A (External Fabric Manager) is wrong because it is an outside orchestration system (such as VMware vCenter) that requests changes to the fabric via APIs - it does not manage changes on the switch itself.

Option C (SFS Controller) is wrong because it is the centralized brain that coordinates and distributes policy across the entire fabric, not the component responsible for managing changes at a specific node.

Memory tip: Think "Agent = local rep." Just as a field agent operates on the ground at a specific location, the Fabric Agent operates locally on a specific switching node to execute changes - while the Controller stays at headquarters directing the bigger picture.
