B) Palo Alto Networks C&C IP Addresses? Sounds like a trick question. Why would I want to allow traffic from command and control servers? I'll stick with C, thanks.

I'm going with C. Blocking known malicious IPs is like putting up a 'No Trespassing' sign for hackers. They'll just find another way in if you don't address the root problem.

D) Palo Alto Networks High-Risk IP Addresses could also work, as it's likely these hosting providers would be considered high-risk. Just gotta make sure the definition of 'high-risk' is broad enough.
