Answer: A

Explanation:

These are basic access control rules we recommend for all Rule Bases:

– Stealth rule that prevents direct access to the Security Gateway.

– Cleanup rule that drops all traffic that is not allowed by the earlier rules.

There is also an implied rule that drops all traffic, but you can use the Cleanup rule to log the traffic.
