Why each option

Unified Threat Management (UTM) integrates multiple security functions into one solution, simplifying administration of a large network infrastructure.

AUnified Threat ManagementCorrect

UTM integrates multiple security capabilities - including firewall, IDS/IPS, antivirus, web filtering, and VPN - into a single platform or device. This integration reduces the complexity of managing disparate security tools across a large infrastructure, allowing a resource-constrained organization to maintain strong security posture with fewer administrative demands.

BVirtual Private Network

A VPN creates secure encrypted communication channels but does not integrate or manage multiple network security controls into a unified solution.

CSingle sign on

Single sign-on streamlines user authentication across systems but has no role in integrating network device security controls.

DRole-based management

Role-based management governs user permissions and access but does not address the integration of network security device controls.
