Answer: A

Explanation

Correct Answer. At the API proxy

*****************************************

>> API Policies can be enforced at two places in Mule platform.

>> One – As an Embedded Policy enforcement in the same Mule Runtime where API implementation is running.

>> Two – On an API Proxy sitting in front of the Mule Runtime where API implementation is running.

>> As the deployment scenario in the question has API Proxy involved, the policies will be enforced at the API Proxy.
