Explanation

Microsoft 365 Network Connectivity Test Tool (available at connectivity.office.com) is correct because it specifically validates whether VPN split tunneling is properly configured for Microsoft 365 traffic, including Teams. It runs from the client machine, detects VPN usage, and confirms whether Teams media traffic is being routed directly to Microsoft's network (bypassing the VPN) as intended.

• Option B (Remote Connectivity Analyzer) focuses on Exchange/Outlook and legacy Skype for Business connectivity - not Teams VPN split tunneling.
• Option C (Network Planner) is a capacity-planning tool in Teams Admin Center used to estimate bandwidth needs before deployment, not a live connectivity tester.
• Option D (Teams Network Assessment Tool) measures media quality metrics (jitter, packet loss, latency) to Teams endpoints, but does not validate split tunneling configuration.

Memory tip: The key phrase is "Microsoft 365 environment" - since split tunneling applies to the broader Microsoft 365 traffic category (not just Teams alone), the Microsoft 365 connectivity test tool is the right scope. If the question were purely about media quality, you'd reach for the Teams-specific tool, but VPN routing validation lives at the 365 level.
