Separating the control plane from the data plane allows for centralized control and programmability of the network. The control plane is responsible for making decisions about how traffic should flow, while the data plane forwards packets based on those decisions. This separation enhances flexibility and simplifies network management. The other options are incorrect because combining functions can increase complexity rather than reduce it, and integrating control decisions with data transmission does not inherently enhance security.
