• B. The new configuration becomes effective at the next system reboot.
• C. The new configuration becomes effective when the last established connection to the service is closed.
• D. The new configuration becomes effective after restarting the tcpd service.
• E. The new configuration becomes effective immediately for all new connections.

Correct answer: E

Explanation

The correct answer is E because changes to the TCP wrapper configuration are applied immediately for any new connections established after the edit. The other options involve restarting services or waiting for connections to close, which are not necessary for the changes to take effect.
