Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
set action block
Why this is correct
Block action denies access; combined with a warning portal configuration, the user sees a warning.
- ✗
set action redirect
Why it's wrong here
Redirect is used for web filtering, not ZTNA access rules.
- ✗
set action authenticate
Why it's wrong here
Authenticate is not a valid action in ZTNA access rules.
- ✗
set action allow
Why it's wrong here
Allow would grant access despite the posture failure.
