Which Application List Is Preconfigured in Cisco SD-WAN vManage?
Short answer
D Google_Apps is one of the two factory preconfigured, read-only application lists in vManage, the other being Microsoft_Apps.
Question
Key Takeaways
The question tests recognition of the built-in, read-only application lists in vManage's policy Lists section; the trap is Microsoft_Office365, which sounds official but is not a factory list name.
Cisco vManage ships exactly two factory application lists — Microsoft_Apps and Google_Apps — and neither can be edited or deleted. This page establishes why Google_Apps (D) is the only preconfigured list among the four options, and why Microsoft_Office365 is a deliberate distractor.
Common mistake: Picking Microsoft_Office365 (C) because it looks like a vendor-defined catalog. vManage's preconfigured Microsoft list is actually named Microsoft_Apps — the string 'Microsoft_Office365' is a manually created or SaaS-recognized list, not a default one.
Expert Analysis
Why the Answer Is Correct
In vManage, application lists live under Configuration > Policies > Lists > Application Lists, and the platform ships with two preconfigured entries: Microsoft_Apps and Google_Apps. Google_Apps is a read-only factory list whose entries include gmail, Google Maps and YouTube, and it exists on a fresh controller with no administrator action. Because the question asks which application list is preconfigured, the only option that matches a factory list name is Google_Apps (D). This matches the SD-WAN policy doctrine that these two lists cannot be edited or deleted, only referenced inside an application-aware routing or QoS policy.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Cisco_Apps (A) does not exist as a default list in vManage — there is no factory list carrying the vendor's own name, and an administrator would have to build one manually. P2P_Apps (B) confuses a default list with a category: peer-to-peer traffic can be identified through DPI application categories, but 'P2P_Apps' is not a shipped application list. Microsoft_Office365 (C) is the strongest distractor because Office 365 is a well-known SaaS family, yet the preconfigured Microsoft list is named Microsoft_Apps, not Microsoft_Office365 — the near-miss name is exactly why learners select it. Only D maps to an actual out-of-the-box list.
Community Comment Notes
Several learners converged on the same reasoning: KKK_9999 wrote that "D is correct answer, option C is to confuse us", and BECAUSE, Mrig and Stanleymahamadi all confirmed D after review. The most useful contribution is yuorsun's explanation that "Two application lists are preconfigured. You cannot edit or delete these lists", followed by the naming of Microsoft_Apps (Excel, Skype, Xbox) and Google_Apps (gmail, Google Maps, YouTube) — that naming detail is precisely what rules out Microsoft_Office365. One lone comment answered C, which is the distractor the rest of the thread warns against. The unanimous vote for D on this page reflects the official vManage behaviour rather than a rubber-stamp of the source key.

Exam Strategy
Memorize the two factory application lists — Microsoft_Apps and Google_Apps — plus the fact that they are read-only. On 300-415, any option built from a real vendor product name (Office 365, Google_Apps, P2P) is designed to look plausible, so anchor the distinction in the list name as it appears in vManage, not in the product it represents.
