How is internet access provided to a WAN edge router that is connected to a MPLS transport link?

C/D? MPLS alone can't give internet access so extranet (C) looks tempting, but Cisco exams want SD-WAN TLOC extension (D). Pretty sure D is the expected answer, C is a bit of a trap.
B is what I picked. MPLS-only edge routers usually need local internet like 4G/5G or a broadband link for direct access, right? D feels too SD-WAN-specific but maybe I missed some nuance. Open to other takes.
Option D, saw something similar on a practice test. TLOC extensions are the Cisco SD-WAN way here.
D imo, lots of practice exams highlight TLOC extension for SD-WAN so I'd check official guide too.
Option B seems right to me because you can just give the WAN edge router a direct internet circuit alongside MPLS. Not 100% sure though, since Cisco loves to ask about SD-WAN TLOC stuff. Agree?
B isn't right for vEdge and MPLS, D. Saw similar in exam reports.
Its B
Maybe D, saw something like this in a practice test. Confident TLOC extensions handle this scenario.
Probably D here. TLOC extension lets a WAN Edge on MPLS reach the internet through another router's direct internet link, so you don't actually need a local circuit at every site. B trips people up because it sounds logical, but that's not always the case with SD-WAN designs. I think D fits best, unless I’m missing something subtle.
Its B
Be respectful. No spam.
