Answer: C

Explanation:

To set up HPE Aruba Networking ClearPass Policy Manager (CPPM) for certificate-based authentication of 802.1X supplicants, you need to upload the root CA certificate as a Trusted CA with the EAP usage. This configuration allows the ClearPass server to validate the certificates presented by the supplicants during the 802.1X authentication process. By marking the certificatefor EAP usage, ClearPass can properly authenticate the supplicant devices using the trusted certificate authority (CA) that issued their certificates.
