This answer is correct because this is the recommended way to configure a VPN tunnel between two subnets and not all subnets defined in the default VPN domain of your gateway1. By creating a dedicated VPN Community, you can specify the VPN peers and the encryption settings for the VPN tunnel2. By selecting the local gateway in the Community, you can set the VPN Domain to ‘User defined’ and put in the local network that you want to include in the VPN tunnel1. This way, you can limit the VPN traffic to the subnets that you want and avoid unnecessary encryption and decryption of other traffic.

The other answers are not correct because they are either outdated or incorrect ways to configure a VPN tunnel between two subnets. Answer A and C are outdated methods that involve editing the user.def file, which is not recommended and can cause problems with the VPN configuration3. Answer D is incorrect because creating an in-line layer rule with source and destination containing the two networks used for the IKE P2 SA will not affect the VPN tunnel establishment, but only the access control policy4. The VPN column in the rule is used to specify the VPN direction, not the VPN Community name4.
