Why each option

Unified Threat Management (UTM) consolidates multiple security functions into a single device, reducing administrative overhead for large infrastructures.

AUnified Threat ManagementCorrect

UTM combines multiple security controls - such as firewall, intrusion detection/prevention, antivirus, VPN, and content filtering - into a single, centrally managed appliance or platform. This consolidation reduces the number of devices and administrative efforts required, directly addressing the organization's resource constraints for managing a large infrastructure.

BVirtual Private Network

A Virtual Private Network provides encrypted tunnels for secure remote communication but does not consolidate or combine security controls across network devices.

CSingle sign on

Single sign-on simplifies user authentication by allowing one set of credentials for multiple systems, but it does not combine or manage network security controls.

DRole-based management

Role-based management controls user access based on assigned roles but does not integrate or consolidate network security device controls.
