B PDFs can be used to deliver malware such as embedded scripts or exploits. Enabling malware detection through a UTM helps to scan and block malicious content within uploaded files before they reach the server.

Selected Answer: B
I chose WAF initially and had to do some research. I'm not a big fan of this question because both a WAF and a UTM will scan .pdf files for malware, but I guess the UTM is better at it and that's why it's correct? ChatGPT said WAF and Grok said UTM.
