The correct answer is **B. Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store – (Local computer)**.

Check Point's HTTPS Inspection documentation confirms directly: to prevent users from getting warnings about the generated CA certificates that HTTPS Inspection uses, install the generated CA certificate used by HTTPS Inspection as a trusted CA — distributed via mechanisms like Windows GPO — which adds the generated CA to the trusted root certificates repository on client computers. The R80.30 guide's step-by-step confirms the exact store name: click Trusted Root Certification Authorities... to install a copy of the certificate to that store, and since this is deployed machine-wide (e.g., via GPO to all users of a computer), it's installed to the **Local Computer** store, not the per-user profile.

Why the other options are wrong:

- **A. Third-party Root Certification Authorities certificate store – (Local Computer)** — The HTTPS Inspection CA is Check Point's own internally generated CA (not a third-party CA), so it belongs in the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" store, not the "Third-Party Root Certification Authorities" store, which is reserved for CAs issued by external/commercial certificate authorities.
- **C. Third-party Root Certification Authorities certificate store – (Current User)** — Wrong store type (same issue as A) and wrong scope (Current User only trusts the cert for that one profile, not machine-wide, which defeats the purpose of a domain-wide GPO deployment).
- **D. Trusted Root Certification Authorities certificate store – (Current user)** — Correct store type, but wrong scope. Deploying to "Current User" would only suppress warnings for that one logged-in profile; for organization-wide GPO deployment to prevent warnings for all users on a machine, the certificate needs to go into the **Local Computer** store.
