Correct Answer:
C. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Inbound Inspection
Explanation

SSL Inbound Inspection allows VM-Series firewalls to decrypt, inspect, and re-encrypt SSL/TLS traffic coming into the network. This capability enables the firewall to gain visibility into encrypted communication and prevent attacks that exploit known web server vulnerabilities, even when the traffic is encrypted. By inspecting the decrypted traffic, the firewall can apply security policies to detect and block malicious activity.
