D) Hidden share

The security feature that would allow port 56 to be allowed through the firewall whenever ports 26000 to 26050 are being used is called port triggering. Port triggering is a type of dynamic port forwarding where a firewall is temporarily opened to allow traffic to flow through a specific port when a connection is made to another specified port. In this case, the firewall would be configured to trigger port 56 whenever a connection is made on ports 26000 to 26050, allowing the chat client traffic to also pass through for the same duration of time. Firewall hardening, proxy, and hidden share are not relevant to this scenario.
