M VPN (Multicast Virtual Private Network) is a technology used to provide multicast connectivity between multiple sites or customers over a service provider's IP/MPLS infrastructure. M VPN is used to provide multicast VPN services to customers who require multicast support for their applications.

In M VPN, Data MDT (Multicast Distribution Tree) is used to transport multicast data packets between PE (Provider Edge) routers. There are several M VPN profiles available, and each profile uses a different technology to implement the M VPN service.

PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) and BGP-AD (BGP Auto-Discovery) are the two technologies used to advertise Data-MDT in M VPN. PIM is a standard multicast routing protocol used in IP networks to distribute multicast traffic, whereas BGP-AD is a mechanism to discover the Data-MDT using BGP.

The question asks which two M VPN profiles use either PIM or BGP-AD to advertise the Data-MDT. Let's review the available profiles:

A. Profile 0: Rosen GRE - This profile uses the Rosen multicast VPN technology with GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunneling. It does not support BGP-AD or PIM.

B. Profile 5: MS-PMSI (Partition) MLDP P2MP with BGP-AD - This profile uses MLDP (Multipoint LDP) and P2MP (Point-to-Multipoint) technology with BGP-AD to advertise the Data-MDT.

C. Profile 3: Rosen GRE with BGP-AD - This profile uses the Rosen multicast VPN technology with GRE tunneling and BGP-AD to advertise the Data-MDT.

D. Profile 4: MS-PMSI(Partition) MLDP P2MP with BGP-AD - This profile is similar to Profile 5 and uses MLDP and P2MP technology with BGP-AD to advertise the Data-MDT.

E. Profile 9: Rosen MLDP with BGP-AD - This profile uses the Rosen multicast VPN technology with MLDP (Multipoint LDP) and BGP-AD to advertise the Data-MDT.

F. Profile 1: Rosen MLDP - This profile uses the Rosen multicast VPN technology with MLDP but does not support BGP-AD.

Therefore, the correct answers are B (Profile 5: MS-PMSI (Partition) MLDP P2MP with BGP-AD) and D (Profile 4: MS-PMSI(Partition) MLDP P2MP with BGP-AD). These profiles use MLDP and P2MP technology with BGP-AD to advertise the Data-MDT.
