The correct answer is A. inline interfaces, security zones, MTU, and mode.

Explanation: Deploying a managed device inline refers to connecting the device between two network segments and allowing it to inspect and control traffic flowing between them. When deploying a device inline, there are certain requirements that must be met to ensure proper functionality and security. These requirements include:

  1. Inline Interfaces: The device must have at least two inline interfaces, one connected to each network segment.

  2. Security Zones: Security zones are logical groupings of interfaces that share similar security requirements. When deploying a device inline, it's important to configure the appropriate security zones to ensure that traffic is appropriately filtered and inspected.

  3. MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the largest size of a packet that can be transmitted over a network. When deploying a device inline, the MTU on both sides of the device must be set to the same value to avoid fragmentation.

  4. Mode: The deployment mode refers to the operating mode of the device. When deploying a device inline, the device must be configured to operate in inline mode to effectively inspect and control traffic flowing between the two network segments.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it includes all the minimum requirements for deploying a managed device inline, while options B, C, and D miss at least one of these requirements.
