Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
A dual-firewall DMZ architecture creates three distinct network zones: the internet, the demilitarized zone (DMZ), and the internal private network. This setup allows administrators to strictly control traffic flow between these zones, providing an additional layer of security. If the DMZ is compromised, the internal network remains protected by the second firewall.
