An engineer must use YANG with an XML representation to configure a Cisco IOS XE...

The correct model set is the one that configures the IOS XE interface GigabitEthernet2/1/0 with IPv4 address 10.10.10.10 and prefix length 27 using valid XML according to the selected YANG schema. The directly connected host address 10.10.10.1/27 confirms the subnet relationship; both addresses belong to 10.10.10.0/27, so the interface configuration must use that prefix length rather than a host mask or an unrelated network. YANG-based configuration is strict: the namespace, container hierarchy, interface type, interface name, and address fields must match the device model. If an option places GigabitEthernet under the wrong container, represents the mask incorrectly, or uses a schema from a different model family, the device will reject the payload or configure the wrong object. Option D correctly represents the IOS XE XML structure and the required addressing. In real operations, the engineer should follow this with a get-config readback against the running datastore to prove that the structured configuration committed as intended.
