• C. ssh -L 0.0.0.0:7324:10.10.10.200:80[email protected]
• D. ssh -L 8895:10.10.10.200:80[email protected]

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the '-D' option is specifically used to create a SOCKS proxy on the specified port. Options B, C, and D utilize the '-R' and '-L' flags, which are for remote and local port forwarding, respectively, and do not establish a SOCKS proxy.
