https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/best-practices/8-1/data-center-best-practices/data-center-best-practice-security-policy/use-palo-alto-networks-assessment-and-review-tools "Prevention Posture Assessment (PPA)—The PPA is a set of questionnaires that help uncover security risk prevention gaps across all areas of network and security architecture. The PPA not only helps to identify all security risks, it also provides detailed suggestions on how to prevent the risks and close the gaps. The assessment, guided by an experienced Palo Alto Networks sales engineer, helps determine the areas of greatest risk where you should focus prevention activities. You can run the PPA on firewalls and on Panorama."

i think that, the correct answer should be 'c'......'adoption' is key word 'The Heatmap analyzes a Palo Alto Networks deployment, measuring the adoption rate of features and capabilities across a targeted network infrastructure.' Study guide Page:171 'The Heatmap measures the adoption rate of the following features. The results display the adoption rate based on source zone to destination zone.' Study guide Page:171

The keyword to identify could be "prevention" which is in option B & relates to PPA.

I think that "B" should be correct as other 3 options are features of BPA.

B is correct, because the other 3 choices are describing the BPA (Best Practice Assessment), and the question is asking about PPA (Prevention Posture Assessment)

B would be correct in this case. Page 171 of the latest Study Guide states that the BPA has over 200 checks.
