Why each option

In a Cisco FTD Access Control Policy, the "Trust All Traffic" default action allows all traffic, including that from undefined applications, to pass without Snort inspection.

ANetwork Discovery Only

Network Discovery Only would allow traffic to pass but would still perform network discovery, not necessarily bypassing all Snort inspection, and it's not a common default action for simply allowing traffic without inspection.

BInherit from Base Policy

Inherit from Base Policy implies the action is determined by a parent policy, which doesn't directly define the behavior for "undefined application" traffic.

CIntrusion Prevention

Intrusion Prevention explicitly enables Snort inspection, which is the opposite of the requirement to pass traffic without Snort inspection.

DTrust All TrafficCorrect

The "Trust All Traffic" action in an FTD Access Control Policy is designed to permit traffic without any Snort-based intrusion inspection, file policy inspection, or malware inspection. This effectively bypasses deeper security analysis for trusted or undefined applications, allowing them to pass through.
