Which NAT rules are prioritized first?

Answer options

• A. Manual Post-Automatic NAT Rules
• B. Automatic Hide NAT Rules
• C. Manual Pre-Automatic NAT Rules
• D. Automatic Static NAT Rules

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Manual Pre-Automatic NAT Rules are given the highest priority because they are explicitly defined by the administrator and are processed before any automatic rules. The other options either come after these manual rules in the priority hierarchy or are automatic configurations that do not take precedence over manually set rules.
