Explanation

The correct PAN-OS CLI syntax for exporting a management-plane packet capture (tcpdump) via SCP is: 'scp export mgmt-pcap from mgmt.pcap to <username@host:path>'. The keyword 'mgmt-pcap' specifies the management-plane capture file type, and 'from mgmt.pcap' identifies the source file name. Option A uses 'tcpdump' instead of 'mgmt-pcap', which is incorrect syntax. Option B uses 'extract' instead of 'export', which is not the correct verb for this operation. Option D ('download mgmt.-pcap') is not a valid PAN-OS CLI command. Understanding the exact CLI syntax - including the correct object name 'mgmt-pcap' - is critical for this command.
