Options

• A/interfaces/interface/unit/family/inet/inet/address
• B/configuration/interface/unit/family/inet/address
• C/interface/unit/family/inet/address
• D/configuration/interfaces/interface/unit/family/inet/address/name

• A
  3% (1)
• B
  5% (2)
• C
  8% (3)
• D
  85% (33)

Explanation

Option D is correct because Juniper device XML configuration always begins with /configuration as the document root, followed by interfaces (the plural container element), then interface (a single instance), and the path continues down through unit/family/inet/address. Critically, in Juniper's XML schema, the actual IP address value is stored inside a <name> child element within <address>, making /name the required final node.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong on two counts: it omits the /configuration root and erroneously repeats inet twice.
• B skips the interfaces plural container, jumping straight to interface - Junos XML always wraps individual elements in a plural parent.
• C is missing both /configuration and the interfaces container, making it an incomplete relative path rather than a full XPath.

Memory tip: Remember the acronym C-I-I-U-F-I-A-N - Configuration, Interfaces, Interface, Unit, Family, Inet, Address, Name - and note that Juniper XML uses plural containers (interfaces, not interface) one level above the individual element, and the IP value lives in <name>, not as an attribute.
