Why each option
Cisco AVC on the WLC uses the 'drop' action to completely block application traffic, making it the correct choice for preventing access to a social media website.
The 'drop' action in a Cisco AVC policy rule instructs the WLC to silently discard all packets classified as the matched application, completely blocking user access to the social media site without sending any response back to the client - this is the only AVC action that enforces a hard block on application traffic.
The 'rate-limit' action throttles bandwidth for the matched application rather than blocking it, meaning users would still reach the social media site at a reduced speed.
'Deny' is not a valid configurable action in Cisco AVC policy rules on the WLC - the correct term for blocking application traffic in AVC is 'drop', not 'deny'.
The 'mark' action re-marks the DSCP or QoS tag on matched application traffic for prioritization or deprioritization purposes and does not prevent access to the application.
