What are two benefits of network automation? (Choose two.)
Network automation provides two key benefits: reduced operational costs and faster changes with more reliable results. Automation streamlines many tasks that would otherwise require manual intervention, thereby decreasing the time and expense associated with those tasks. Additionally, automation enables quicker configuration changes and deployments, which are more reliable and consistent compared to manual processes, thus reducing errors and increasing efficiency.
Could literally say any of those answers
Several of those answers are right, but not the 'most-right', A is not correct though. Automation doesn't reduce your hardware footprint at all, if anything it does quite the opposite.
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/executive-perspectives/network-automation-strategy-wp.html#BenefitsofNetworkAutomation Security is a higher level of automation and falls under "security automation" and a ssuch is not one of the primary benefits of network automation. Faster, cheaper and more reliable deployment are your first candidates.
B and C seem to have the most Cisco Kool-Aid poured into them, although E is definitely up there for me as well.
Ans. is B: op. cost is reduced due to automation of configuration, IOS update and group deployment of policies Ans.2 is C: You can auto configure new device(s) based on their type/function which is more reliable than human configuration which is prone to errors. D. is incorrect, the network devices and interconnections remain prone to failures. Automation ensure error free configuration/policy deployment/...etc and not that devices have less failures. E. Security in traditional networks or controller networks is dependent on security configuration (either configured per device or automated).
How does it reduce operational cost ?
Multiple processes is carried out from simple automation, delivering results in a timely and cost effective manner. Operational cost is therefore reduced.

This changes the operating paradigm in many cases, with the controller determining many device-specific details: ■ The network engineer does not need to think about every command on every device. ■ The controller configures the devices with consistent and streamlined settings. ■ The result: faster and more consistent changes with fewer issues.
Some of the advantages include the following: ■ Uses new and improved operational models that allow the configuration of the network rather than per-device configuration ■ Enables automation through northbound APIs that provide robust methods and modeldriven data ■ Configures the network devices through southbound APIs, resulting in more consistent device configuration, fewer errors, and less time spent troubleshooting the network ■ Enables a DevOps approach to networks
B. reduced operational costs C. faster changes with more reliable results
I think misconfiguration is one of the biggest downside of traditional network , so automation did increase the security of network
B & C are correct
B & C are correct
Going with C and E, a common security issue is misconfiguration, if you are using network automation, the chances of misconfiguration drops, thus increasing security by avoid security misconfigurations.
