To further clarify it is B: There is no such section in DoS Protection Profiles The other options can open the gates to non-approved reconnaissance.

Selected Answer: B
B because : Zone protection defends network zones against flood attacks, reconnaissance attempts, packet-based attacks, and attacks that use non-IP protocols. Tailor a Zone Protection profile to protect each zone (you can apply the same profile to similar zones). Denial-of-service (DoS) protection defends specific critical systems against flood attacks, especially devices that user access from the internet such as web servers and database servers, and protects resources from session floods
