• B. Azure Firewall focuses on network traffic inspection, while FortiGate VM is primarily a web application firewall.

• D. Azure Firewall and FortiGate VM have identical primary functions, and no features differentiation.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, is accurate as Azure Firewall is specifically designed as a cloud-native security service, while FortiGate VM operates as a network virtual appliance providing a broad range of security features. Option B is incorrect because Azure Firewall does more than just inspect network traffic, and FortiGate VM is not limited to web application firewall functions. Options C and D are also incorrect as they misrepresent the capabilities and distinctions between the two products.
