Selected Answers: B


The correct answer is **B. HTTP**.

Applications in Application Control are matched on their Recommended services, and the default Application Control Web browsing services are http, https, HTTP_proxy, and HTTPS_proxy. HTTP is the base recommended service used for identifying and matching general web browsing traffic in the Application Control blade.

Why the other options are wrong:

- **A. DNS** — DNS is used for domain name resolution (translating hostnames to IP addresses), not for carrying actual web browsing traffic. It's not part of the Application Control Web browsing services list.
- **C. FTP** — FTP is a distinct service for file transfer, unrelated to standard web browsing traffic and not included among the default web browsing services Application Control uses to match applications.
- **D. SMTP** — SMTP is the protocol for sending email, not web browsing, and has no role in how Application Control identifies or matches web-based application traffic.
