Why each option

Cisco Umbrella is the cloud-delivered security platform that enforces security policies at the DNS layer, blocking malicious domains before a connection is ever established.

ACisco AMP

Cisco AMP (Advanced Malware Protection) focuses on endpoint-level file analysis and malware detection, not DNS resolution.

BCisco Meraki Dashboard

Cisco Meraki Dashboard is a cloud management portal for Meraki network devices and is not a DNS-based security service.

CCisco DNA Center

Cisco DNA Center is an on-premises network automation and intent-based networking controller, with no DNS-resolution security function.

DCisco UmbrellaCorrect

Cisco Umbrella acts as a recursive DNS resolver and inspects every DNS query against threat intelligence to block requests to malicious or prohibited domains. Because it operates at the DNS layer, it can prevent connections to threats before any IP-level traffic is exchanged. It is delivered entirely from the cloud and requires no on-premises hardware for DNS-layer protection.
