   An administrator is reviewing the dashboard and sees a warning alert for 'High CPU usage' on the management CPU. The 'CPU Usage' metric on the dashboard shows 30% overall. The system is passing production traffic without issue. What is the most likely cause of this discrepancy, and what should the administrator do?

   • AThe management CPU is under load from a specific process, such as a configuration sync or a management-plane task, while the data plane CPU is idle; the administrator should investigate the management plane processes.
   • BThe alert is a warning, so it can be ignored since the system is passing traffic.
   • CThe system is under a DDoS attack, and the administrator should immediately block all traffic.
   • DThe dashboard is showing incorrect data; the administrator should reboot the system to clear the false alert.
