Answer is D. APIC counts the request to authenticate and threshold it to avoid DOS attack. After too many attempts this authentication method may fail as the threshold will be exceeded. To avoid the above-mentioned problem Cisco APIC supports signature-based authentication. https://registry.terraform.io/providers/CiscoDevNet/aci/latest/docs

Selected Answer: C

The question states 'engineer must ensure APIC count the requests' https://registry.terraform.io/providers/CiscoDevNet/aci/latest/docs Authentication with user-id and password. In this method, it will obtain an authentication token from Cisco APIC and will use that token to authenticate. A limitation with this approach is APIC counts the request This is what the question asked for so I think it is C
