I’m a bit confused because I thought packet filtering was more about security features like IP spoofing. Could that relate to option B?

I practiced a similar question about network security tools, and I think packet filtering routers are mainly about speed and transparency. So, maybe option C again?

I remember packet filtering routers being mentioned in class as being effective in low-risk environments, but I'm not sure why they wouldn't be used in higher-risk ones.

I think they’re fast and flexible, which makes them suitable for low-risk environments. I might lean towards option C, but I need to double-check that.

This seems like a tricky question. I'll need to carefully consider the requirements and the options to determine the best solution.

I think the answer is C - current and event. That seems like the most logical combination for an Inbound Action script.
