Explanation

A and D are correct because Cisco FirePOWER Threat Defense (FTD) is specifically designed to unify previously separate ASA and FirePOWER service images into a single software image (A), simplifying deployment and management. It also introduces Firepower Device Manager (FDM) and Firepower Management Center (FMC) as intuitive new management interfaces with expanded control options (D).

B is wrong because "malware detection score" is not a defined FTD feature - while FTD integrates AMP (Advanced Malware Protection), it does not present a scored analytics metric as a primary feature.

C is wrong because "virtual lock" is fabricated terminology - FTD does not include a Data Loss Prevention feature by that name; DLP is handled by separate Cisco solutions like Cisco Email/Web Security.

Memory tip: Think of FTD's two headline selling points as "ONE image, ONE interface" - it unified the software stack (A) and modernized the management UI (D). Anything involving invented terms like "virtual lock" or "detection scores" is a red flag on Cisco exams.
