Wait, there's more than one type of NAT? I thought it was just 'Network Address Translation' and that's it. Time to brush up on my networking vocab!

Static NAT rules having precedence? That's like saying I should always use the stairs instead of the elevator. A is clearly the wrong choice here.

D sounds like it could be right, but come on, who uses Layer 3 interfaces these days? Firewall NAT on Layer 2 is where it's at!

I was about to choose B, but then I remembered that NAT happens before firewall processing. Gotta love those networking rules!

I'm pretty sure C is the correct answer. The order of NAT rule processing is definitely top to bottom. Anything else would just be confusing!

I believe D) Firewall supports NAT on Layer 3 interfaces only is also true, as NAT is typically done at the network layer.

I agree with Rory, because the order of NAT rules is important for determining which rule will be applied first.
