Which command adds a PPP secret with a given username and password?

• A. /ppp secret add name=user password=pass profile=default
• B. /interface pppoe-server add interface=ether1
• C. /ip dns set servers=<upstream-dns>
• D. /system scheduler add

Answer: (A)

Creating a PPP secret is how you store the credentials a PPP client will use to authenticate against the router. The command to add such credentials is /ppp secret add, and you supply the username as name and the password as password. By setting name to the user and password to the desired password, and optionally assigning a profile like default, you enable the PPP server to accept that client. The other commands configure things like a PPPoE server interface, DNS servers, or a scheduler, none of which create or manage PPP authentication credentials. So this command directly adds the secret needed for PPP authentication, making it the correct choice.
