__________ inspection firewalls keep track of each network connection between internal and external systems.
A) Static
B) Dynamic 
C) Stateful
D) Stateless

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stateful inspection firewalls maintain a record of the state of each network connection which allows them to monitor and filter traffic more effectively than stateless firewalls (option D) which only examine individual packets. Static firewalls (option A) use pre-defined rules to filter traffic and are less flexible than dynamic firewalls (option B) which can adapt to changes in the network environment. Therefore, C is the best choice in this case.
