Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Add the site to the 'Allow List' in the URL Filtering profile object assigned to the security policy.
Why this is correct
The Allow List within a URL Filtering profile overrides category-based blocks.
- ✗
Move the security policy to the top of the policy list.
Why it's wrong here
Policy order does not bypass the category filtering configured within the profile.
- ✗
Add the site to the 'Blocked' list in the URL Filtering profile.
Why it's wrong here
This would reinforce the block rather than allow it.
- ✗
Create a new URL category and add the domain to it, then block that category.
Why it's wrong here
This would not provide access to the user.
