Explanation

Option A (FireSIGHT MC 4000) is correct because it is the highest-capacity physical appliance in the FireSIGHT Management Center lineup, supporting up to 300 managed devices - easily covering the 100-device requirement. The other options fall short: the 2000 tops out at around 35 managed devices, the 750 supports up to 10, and the 500 handles only 2, making them all unsuitable for a 100-device deployment. Each lower-numbered model trades device capacity for a smaller footprint and lower cost, intended for branch offices or smaller environments rather than enterprise-scale deployments.

Memory tip: Think of the model number as a rough proxy for scale - the higher the number, the more devices it can manage. When an exam question asks about large-scale management (50+ devices), jump straight to the 4000.
