Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Configure a Directory Service connector to sync users and groups from Active Directory.
Why this is correct
The directory service connector synchronizes organizational units, users, and groups into CIE.

Why this is correct
Attributes and authentication mappings ensure identities are correctly interpreted by Prisma Access policies.
- ✗

Why this is correct
The CIE tenant must be associated with the Panorama Cloud Services plugin to supply identity data.

Configure BGP peering between CIE and the enterprise DNS servers.

CIE does not use BGP routing protocols to communicate.
