Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Only SSH from the internal network and HTTPS from any IP are allowed.

Inbound rules: Rule 100 allows SSH from 10.0.0.0/16 (internal network). Rule 200 allows HTTPS from 0.0.0.0/0 (any IP). Rule 300 (implicit deny) denies all other inbound traffic. Therefore, only SSH from the internal network and HTTPS from any IP are allowed. Option B is incorrect because not all inbound traffic is allowed; SSH from external networks is denied. Option C is incorrect because HTTPS is allowed from anywhere. Option D is incorrect because the NACL does not deny all traffic; it allows specific traffic.
