I’m leaning towards B, since I believe Statement 1 and 2 are correct, but Statement 3 seems off. Firewalls can’t protect against everything, right?

I feel like I’ve seen a question similar to this before. I want to say Statement 1 is true, but I’m not entirely sure about the implications of Statement 3.

I think Statement 1 and Statement 2 are both true. They sound familiar from the practice questions we did, but I'm a bit confused about the specifics of Statement 3.

I remember that firewalls are definitely meant to protect networks, but I'm not sure about Statement 3. Can they really protect against attacks that don't go through them?

Okay, gotta focus here. Firewalls, network security, trusted vs untrusted - I've got this. Time to put my knowledge to the test.

I'm a little unsure about that third statement. Does a firewall really protect against attacks that don't go through its interfaces? I'll have to double-check that.

Hmm, the wording on these statements is a bit tricky. I'll need to think through each one closely to determine which combination is correct.

I've got a good strategy for this. I'll start by identifying the true statements, then eliminate the false ones. The first option about robots being assigned to multiple environments seems straightforward.

Didn't we see a practice question about this? I feel like it was mentioned that none of the cast irons are entirely safe from it, but black iron might be the safest option overall.

Statement 3 seems a bit off. Firewalls can only protect against attacks that pass through their network interfaces, not those that don't. I'm going with option B.
