CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 259

Which of the following offers the ability to manage access at the cloud VM instance?

Answer options

• A. Security group
• B. Internet gateway
• C. Direct Connect
• D. Network ACL

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Security group, as it specifically allows you to define rules for inbound and outbound traffic to your cloud VM instances. The other options do not provide the same level of instance-specific access control; for example, an Internet gateway facilitates internet connectivity, while Direct Connect offers a dedicated connection, and Network ACLs apply to subnets rather than individual instances.
