  1. A is not correct. The correct answer is D. As you can see below both IPv4 and IPv6 allow traffic from a higher interface to a lower interface in both routed and transparent mode. ARP is not allowed in routed mode. Therefore D is the correct answer.

    Implicit Permits
    For routed mode, the following types of traffic are allowed through by default:

    Unicast IPv4 traffic from a higher security interface to a lower security interface.
    Unicast IPv6 traffic from a higher security interface to a lower security interface.
    For transparent mode, the following types of traffic are allowed through by default:

    Unicast IPv4 traffic from a higher security interface to a lower security interface.
    Unicast IPv6 traffic from a higher security interface to a lower security interface.
    ARPs in both directions.

  2. Implicit Permits

    For routed mode, the following types of traffic are allowed through by default:
    • Unicast IPv4 traffic from a higher security interface to a lower security interface.
    • Unicast IPv6 traffic from a higher security interface to a lower security interface.

    A is right
