Answer options

- C. The reject action drops TCP packets and sends an ICMP message to the source.
- D. The reject action drops UDP packets and does not send any message to the source.
Correct answer: A, B
Explanation
Answer A is correct because when UDP packets are rejected, the SRX device sends an ICMP message to inform the sender.
