Explanation

VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN) uses an overlay encapsulation method to carry Layer-2 frames over an IP underlay. This functionality is part of the data plane, which is responsible for packet forwarding and encapsulation/decapsulation. "In an EVPN-VXLAN fabric, the control plane (via BGP EVPN) learns and advertises MAC and IP information, while the data plane encapsulates and forwards traffic using VXLAN tunnels between Option A is incorrect: IP learning happens in the control plane, not the data plane. Option B is incorrect: MAC advertisement is done in the control plane through EVPN route types. Option D is incorrect: MAC learning is handled by EVPN control plane, not the VXLAN data Option C is correct: the VXLAN data plane encapsulates the traffic in UDP tunnels between
