Question

What role does SNMP play in the network?

A to monitor and manage network devices using a UDP underlay that operates on the application layer
B to collect data directly from network devices using an SSL underlay that operates on the transport layer
C to monitor network devices and functions using a TCP underlay that operates on the presentation layer
D to collect telemetry and critical information from network devices using an SSH underlay that operates on the network layer

Explanation

SNMP is used for network monitoring and management. It is an application-layer protocol that typically runs over UDP, allowing network management systems to query devices, receive status information, and process alerts such as traps. That matches the description of monitoring and managing network devices using UDP at the application layer.
