Why each option

To prevent access to malicious content and apply internet access protection on a SOHO router, the technician should configure content filtering.

APort forwarding

Port forwarding directs incoming external network traffic to specific internal devices or services, which does not prevent access to malicious content.

BContent filteringCorrect

Content filtering allows the router to block access to specific websites, categories of websites, or types of content, effectively preventing users from accessing known malicious sites and enforcing internet usage policies.

CFirmware updates

Firmware updates improve the router's security, performance, and features, but do not directly configure content blocking or internet access protection.

DDHCP reservations

DHCP reservations assign a consistent IP address to a specific device on the network, which is unrelated to content filtering or internet protection.
