Selected Answer: C

Answer: C Explanation: An application-level proxy firewall is best for Harold's needs. (A) ❌ Circuit-level proxies don't inspect application-layer data for FTP commands. (B) ❌ Packet filtering can't distinguish between FTP-PUT and other FTP commands. (C) ✅ Application-level proxies can inspect and filter specific FTP commands like PUT. (D) ❌ Data link layer firewalls operate at a lower level, unable to filter application commands. ----- If you agree, please UPVOTE.
