  • B. The TCP packet modifies the packet size only if no fragmentation occurs.
  • C. Applying commands in a firewall policy determines the largest payload a device can handle in a single TCP segment.
  • D. The maximum segment size permitted in the firewall policy determines whether TCP packets are allowed or denied.

I think it should be B:
the TCP MSS value can be changed. By doing this, the firewall will modify the TCP MSS sent by client/server in the TCP syn/syn-ack packets so the remote end receives a smaller MSS and sends smaller packets.

The maximum segment size (MSS) is only the payload size and does not include the TCP headers.
You configure this parameter within a firewall policy and it determines the largest payload a device can handle in
a single TCP segment.
