Suggested Answer: B

Creating a New Virtual Switch:

By creating a new virtual switch, you can segment the network within the ESXi environment. The VM-Series firewall can then be used to provide security controls between these virtual switches using virtual wire mode.

Moving Guests to New Virtual Switch:

Guests requiring additional security are moved to the new virtual switch, allowing the VM-Series firewall to inspect and control traffic between the switches. This setup does not necessitate changes to the existing IP addresses or default gateways of the VMs.

Hmm, B) inspecting outbound traffic, huh? I bet the firewall could also order a pizza and do my laundry while it's at it. Multitasking firewall, nice!

A) Distributing VPC traffic across VM-Series firewalls? Sounds like a recipe for a firewall traffic jam. I'll pass on that one.

C) Providing a license deactivation API key? Really? That's like trying to stop a bank robbery by turning off the lights. Not buying it.

I'm going with D) Custom-built signatures based on hash. Gotta love that technical jargon, am I right? Sounds like the kind of fancy-sounding answer that might just be correct.

B) Inspecting outbound traffic content and blocking suspicious activity seems like the best way to prevent data exfiltration. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
