Correct answer: northbound API, business outcome oriented.
Why this is the answer
Cisco DNA Center's Intent API is a northbound API, meaning it provides an interface for higher-level applications and systems to interact with the network. It is "northbound" because it abstracts the underlying network complexity, allowing applications to request network services without needing to know the specifics of how those services are implemented on individual devices. This API is also business outcome oriented; instead of focusing on device-specific configurations, it allows users to define desired business outcomes (e.g., "ensure high bandwidth for video conferencing"), and DNA Center translates these into network policies and configurations. "Device-oriented" is incorrect because the Intent API abstracts device specifics. "Southbound API" is incorrect as southbound APIs communicate with network devices directly, which is the opposite of a northbound API. "Procedural" is incorrect; Intent APIs are declarative, focusing on what to achieve rather than how to achieve it.
