Explanation:
this is the most correct answer because we use firewalls in networks where we need security, so

it.

security.C: We should not need to prevent authorized access, if it authorized, the traffic should go through.

E: A firewall is not a virus scanning engine, we have anti-virus for that matter, Firewalls are a form
of packet analyzers that says if traffics go through, is redirected or is discarded at one of its
interfaces, it doesn’t look for virus patterns.
