Explanation

Content filters in Cisco Secure Email Gateway are flexible policy tools that can be applied to both incoming and outgoing mail flows. They inspect message attributes - such as headers, body text, attachment types, sender/recipient, and more - and apply configured actions (quarantine, drop, redirect, add disclaimer, etc.). Option A is partially true (you can match on subject), but it is far too narrow to describe content filter capability. Option B is incorrect - antispam scanning is a separate engine, not a content filter function. Option D is incorrect - content filters are processed after message filters in the pipeline, not before them; message filters run first.
