  1. From what I study from EC-Council e-book,

    ESP – encrypts and optionally authenticates the entire inner IP packets while
    AH – authenticates the entire inner IP packet and selected fields of the outer IP header

    Therefore, i would choose ESP over AH. And since there’s no such thing as a ESP Confidential (not to my limited knowledge), the correct answer should be C – ESP Transport.

  2. The Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol offers confidentiality.
    Unlike AH, ESP does not provide integrity and authentication for the entire IP packet in transport mode. (But does provide confidentiality)

  3. Wrong. The answer here is AH Tunnel mode. Only in tunnel mode is the entire packet encrypted. Transport mode is used when another tunneling protocol (e.g. GRE) is used to already provide encryption. Answer A is correct here.

    1. When transport mode is used, IPSec encrypts only the IP payload. Transport mode provides the
      protection of an IP payload through an AH or ESP header. Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
      provides confidentiality (in addition to authentication, integrity, and anti-replay protection) for the IP
      payload.

        C is the right one
