What is required before an API implemented using the components of Anypoint Platform can be managed and governed (by applying API policies) on Anypoint Platform?
A . The API must be published to Anypoint Exchange and a corresponding API instance ID must be obtained from API Manager to be used in the API implementation
B . The API implementation source code must be committed to a source control management system (such as GitHub)
C . A RAML definition of the API must be created in API designer so it can then be published to Anypoint Exchange
D . The API must be shared with the potential developers through an API portal so API consumers can interact with the API

Answer: A

Explanation:

Context of the question is about managing and governing mule applications deployed on Anypoint platform.

Anypoint API Manager (API Manager) is a component of Anypoint Platform that enables you to manage, govern, and secure APIs. It leverages the runtime capabilities of API Gateway and Anypoint Service Mesh, both of which enforce policies, collect and track analytics data, manage proxies, provide encryption and authentication, and manage applications.
