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

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).
