Selected Answer: A
FTP is inherently less secure compared to other protocols like HTTP because it transfers data, including credentials, in plaintext. This makes it vulnerable to interception and unauthorized access. Therefore, enabling FTP within firewall rules could expose sensitive information to potential attackers.
