For D, I feel like weak matrix organizations definitely have more conflicts, so I’m leaning towards that being incorrect too.

I think C sounds right because in a balanced matrix, project managers do have some authority, but it’s not as high as in a strong matrix.

Hmm, the question mentions an access policy that allows any source to reach the public IP address on port 80, so I don't think the issue is with the access policy. Maybe the NAT policy needs to be modified?

Option A is just plain wrong. Conflicts between the two types of managers are basically inevitable in a functional organization. No way they're 'uncommon'.
