What is an Ansible inventory?

Answer options

• C. device with Ansible installed that manages target devices
• D. collection of actions to perform on target devices, expressed in YAML format

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because an Ansible inventory is specifically a file that lists the target devices for command execution. Option A describes a component of Ansible but not the inventory, C refers to the management aspect rather than the inventory itself, and D describes playbooks instead of inventories.
