I Agree it’s B & C
Layer 3 outside connections, or external routed networks, provide IP connectivity between a private network of a tenant and an external IP network. Each layer 3 outside connection is associated with one private network only. Aprivate network may not have a layer 3 outside connection if IP connectivity to the outside is not required.
Extend the Bridge Domain Out of the ACI Fabric
Another way to extend the layer 2 domain beyond the ACI fabric is to create layer 2 outside connections. On the APIC GUI it is under menu TenantàNetworkingàExternal Bridged Networks (Figure 53). A layer 2 outside connection is associated with a bridge domain and it is designed to extend the whole bridge domain (not an individual EPG under bridge domain) to the outside network
