What kinds of transceivers are supported on Orchestrator MHO-170?

The Check Point MHO-170 Orchestrator is a high-performance appliance equipped with two main types of high-speed ports. It features eight QSFP28 ports, which support 100GbE and are backward compatible with 40GbE (using QSFP+ transceivers). It also includes forty SFP28 ports for 25GbE and 10GbE connectivity. The question and options are imprecise, as the appliance supports SFP-family transceivers as well. However, among the choices provided, option D is the only one that correctly identifies the QSFP-family transceivers (QSFP28 and its compatible predecessor QSFP+) used for the highest-speed uplink and inter-orchestrator connections.

A. This option incorrectly includes SFP and omits the SFP+ and SFP28 types that are actually supported.
B. This option correctly includes SFP+ and SFP28 but omits the highest-speed QSFP28 transceiver type.
C. This option omits the entire QSFP family of transceivers (QSFP+ and QSFP28), which are key components of the MHO-170.
