Answer: A

Explanation:

Did you know:  mgmt_cli can accept csv files as inputs using the –batch option.

The first row should contain the argument names and the rows below it should hold the values for these parameters.

So an equivalent solution to the powershell script could look like this:

data.csv:

mgmt_cli add host –batch data.csv -u <username> -p <password> -m <management server>

This can work with any type of command not just "add host" : simply replace the column names with the ones relevant to the command you need.
