Selected Answer: A
The presence of an internal certificate in the middle of the certificate chain suggests that the intermediate CA certificate used by the company's proxy might be expired or improperly configured. Renewing and redeploying the intermediate CA certificate should resolve the certificate errors employees are experiencing.

Selected Answer: A
A. Renew and redeploy the intermediate CA certificate. This option addresses the core issue. If the proxy is using an outdated or untrusted internal certificate, it can cause certificate errors. Renewing and redeploying the intermediate CA certificate ensures that the certificate used by the proxy is trusted by the clients (employees' devices). This should resolve the certificate errors being encountered.
