Correct answer & explanation
✓
Inbound HTTP and HTTPS from anywhere, and SSH only from the internal network are allowed.
The security group allows inbound HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) from anywhere (0.0.0.0/0), and SSH (port 22) only from the internal network (10.0.0.0/8). Outbound all traffic is allowed. Option A is incorrect because it omits HTTP/HTTPS. Option C is incorrect because outbound traffic is allowed. Option D is incorrect because not all inbound traffic is allowed (SSH is restricted).
