D) Protocol used is my pick. Different protocols have different rules.

I think it's A) Destination address. It makes sense for filtering.

Wait, can a firewall really filter just by protocol? Seems too simple.

The protocol used definitely plays a role, but I wonder how much weight it has compared to the other options.

I feel like source address is important too, but I can't recall if it's always considered in every scenario.

I remember practicing a similar question where port numbers were also a key part of the filtering process.

I think the firewall checks the destination address first, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only factor.
