Explanation

The correct arrangement matches each QoS mechanism to its defining behavior: Policing drops or re-marks traffic that exceeds a defined rate limit (hard enforcement with no buffering), Shaping buffers/delays excess traffic to conform to a rate limit (soft enforcement that smooths traffic flow), and CoS (Class of Service) uses Layer 2 802.1p markings in the Ethernet frame header to classify and prioritize traffic. These three mechanisms represent distinct QoS functions - enforcement, smoothing, and classification/marking - and cannot be interchanged.
