I feel like I’ve seen a question like this before, and I think DMZ was the correct choice then too. It makes sense with the security controls mentioned.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about VPNs being secure connections. Could it be A) Virtual private network?

I think the answer might be D) Demilitarized zone (DMZ) because it’s the part of the network that’s exposed to the internet, right?
