Answer: D

Explanation:

dbedit (or GuiDbEdit) uses the cpmi protocol which is gradually being replaced by the new R80.10 automation architecture. cpmi clients are still supported in R80.10, but there are some functionalities that cannot be managed by cpmi anymore. For example, the Access and Threat policies do not have a cpmi representation. They can be managed only by the new mgmt_cli and not by cpmi clients. There are still many tables that have an inner cpmi representation (for example, network objects, services, servers, and global properties) and can still be managed using cpmi.
