• B. Can apply supplicant configuration to a host.
• C. Deployed by a login/logout script and is not installed on the endpoint.

Correct answer: A, B, D

Explanation

The correct answers A, B, and D highlight the capabilities of a persistent agent, such as supporting software inventory and configuration management, and enabling automatic user authentication.

Option E is also incorrect as it describes a different process that does not pertain to the persistent agent's typical function.
