Wow, this is a tough one. I feel like I'm playing DMZ Jeopardy here. But hey, at least it's not as bad as trying to secure a DMZ with Telnet, right? Talk about a disaster waiting to happen!

LDAP? Really? Come on, that's like leaving the front door wide open and hoping no one notices. Definitely not the right choice for a DMZ.

SSH is the way to go, my friend. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's way more secure than those other protocols. Gotta protect that DMZ at all costs!

Hmm, that's interesting. Can you explain why you think LDAP is the correct answer?

I'd say Telnet is the right answer here. Using that protocol in a DMZ is just asking for trouble. It's basically an open invitation for hackers to waltz right in.

Definitely SNMP. That protocol has way too many vulnerabilities, especially in a DMZ environment. I've seen way too many breaches caused by misconfigured SNMP.
