Explanation

A physical firewall (D) is the most appropriate tool to mitigate unwanted traffic against a public-facing interface. Firewalls inspect and filter inbound and outbound network traffic based on rules, making them the primary defense for blocking malicious or unwanted traffic from reaching web servers. An IDS (B) only detects and alerts on threats but does not actively block traffic. Device encryption (A) protects data at rest, not network traffic. Antivirus/anti-malware (C) targets malicious software on endpoints, not network-level traffic.
