Answer: C

Explanation:

The configuration shown in the exhibit indicates that a control policy named "prefer_local" is applied in the outbound direction and is set to affect only the site listed as "site1" with a site-id of 100. If the network engineer discovers that this policy is only affecting the route tables of specific devices that are listed in the site list, it suggests that the policy is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do: it is scoped to affect only the listed sites.

Given the description that the policy affects only the route tables, if the intent is to influence traffic at the data plane (actual packet forwarding), option C is the most likely correct answer. A localized data policy allows for the enforcement of policies directly on the devices at the edge of the network (such as the WAN Edge router), which would affect how traffic is handled beyond just route advertisement.
