Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Deploy IPsec VPN tunnels from GCP VPC networks to Prisma Access Remote Networks, utilizing dynamic BGP routing.
Why this is correct
Correct. Prisma Access supports standard IPsec VPN connections with BGP routing from GCP VPCs to connect remote networks.
