I remember learning that IPSec secures data in transit. Good choice!

But IPSec is more robust for VPNs. Definitely C.

I’m torn between C and D. EAP has its uses too.

FTP for secure tunneling? Really? That's like using a cardboard box for a getaway car.

I vaguely recall that FTP and IPX/SPX aren't really used for security in tunneling, so that narrows it down a bit.

I'm going to go with C) IPSec. That seems like the most logical choice based on what I know about tunneling and security protocols. Hopefully I've got this one right!

Okay, let me think this through. Tunneling protocols like VPNs need some kind of security, and IPSec is a common protocol for that. I'm pretty confident C) IPSec is the right answer here.

Wait, is it D) EAP? I'm remembering something about EAP being used for authentication in tunneling setups. But I could be mixing that up. Ugh, these security protocol questions can be tricky.
