Which of the following configurations can prevent Host A and Host B from communicating with each other?

1. Understanding the ACL Rule
The rule:
rule 5 deny source 100.0.12.0 0.0.0.255
Blocks traffic originating from 100.0.12.0/24 (Host B's network).
This means any packet sent from Host B to Host A will be blocked.
2. Applying the ACL to the Correct Interfaces
Option A: Applied inbound on GE0/0/1 Blocks packets from Host B before reaching Host A.
Option B: Applied inbound on GE0/0/2 Blocks packets from Host A before reaching Host B.
3. Why Other Options Are Incorrect
Option C (GigabitEthernet0/0/3):
Interface GE0/0/3 is not connected to Host A or Host B, so applying ACL here is meaningless.
Option D (Outbound on GE0/0/1):
Outbound filtering is less efficient than inbound filtering because it blocks traffic after routing.
4. Correct Approach to Prevent Communication
To completely block communication between Host A and Host B, we must: Block inbound traffic on GE0/0/1 (Host A's interface) Block inbound traffic on GE0/0/2 (Host B's interface)
Conclusion:
The correct choices are A and B because they block inbound traffic at the correct interfaces.
Options C and D are incorrect because they apply ACL rules to the wrong interfaces or use inefficient filtering.
