Why each option

Internet Explorer assigns security zones default levels to control browsing behavior. The Internet zone defaults to Medium security.

AMediumCorrect

Microsoft Internet Explorer sets the Internet zone to a default security level of Medium, which balances usability and protection by allowing most web content while prompting for potentially unsafe downloads or scripts. This is the out-of-the-box configuration before any administrator or user customization.

BHigh

High is the default for the Restricted Sites zone, not the Internet zone.

CLow

Low is not a default for any standard zone and represents minimal security restrictions.

DMedium-Low

Medium-Low is the default for the Local Intranet zone, not the Internet zone.
