Correct arrangement

Firewall

Encryption

Explanation

The correct arrangement matches each component to its primary security function: a Firewall controls network traffic by filtering packets based on rules, making it ideal for scenarios involving network boundary protection or blocking unauthorized access. Authentication verifies the identity of users or systems before granting access, fitting scenarios involving login credentials or identity verification. Encryption transforms data into an unreadable format to protect confidentiality, applying to scenarios involving data protection in transit or at rest. Each component addresses a distinct security layer - perimeter, identity, and data protection respectively.
