Why "Application-aware routing that can keep traffic within specific regions" is the right answer
SD-WAN can pin certain application flows to specific paths/regions, supporting data-residency rules (e.g., EU data stays in EU). Bandwidth and cost are general SD-WAN benefits but not specific to compliance. Cabling is unrelated.
