Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Global policies support matching on applications, source addresses, and destination addresses.
Why this is correct
Global policies support standard match criteria similar to zone-based policies.
- ✗
Global policies require an explicit zone pair declaration in the configuration hierarchy.
Why it's wrong here
Global policies do not require explicit zone pairs; that is the defining characteristic of zone-based policies.
- ✓
Global policies are evaluated after zone-based security policies.
Why this is correct
Zone-based policies take precedence; global policies act as a fallback.
- ✓
Global policies can be applied across multiple zones without specifying individual source-to-destination zone pairs in every rule.
Why this is correct
Global policies match traffic regardless of the source and destination zones.
- ✗
Global policies take precedence over any configured zone-based security policies.
Why it's wrong here
Zone-based policies always take precedence over global policies.
