Explanation

SSL VPN is a highly versatile remote access technology that supports all four listed services across its different operational modes. Web proxy (A) allows users to access internal web applications through a browser without a full client install. Network expansion (B) - sometimes called "full tunnel" or "network-level" mode - extends the corporate network to the remote device, granting LAN-level access. Port forwarding (C) tunnels specific TCP application traffic through the SSL connection, enabling thin-client access to non-web apps. File sharing (D) lets users access network file shares (e.g., SMB/CIFS) over the encrypted SSL tunnel.

Because this is an "all of the above" question, there are no wrong distractors - every choice represents a legitimate SSL VPN capability, which is exactly the point: SSL VPN is designed to be mode-flexible, supporting anything from a lightweight web portal to a full network extension.

Memory tip: Think of SSL VPN as a remote-access Swiss Army knife - Web, Network, Port, File (WNPF). If a service needs secure remote delivery, SSL VPN likely has a mode for it, so when in doubt on exam questions, lean toward "all apply" when all options describe standard remote-access functions.
