Explanation
A is correct because advanced file filtering systems - such as those found in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools, firewalls, and content inspection engines - can inspect not just file type (e.g., .exe, .pdf) but also the direction of the transfer: incoming (inbound) versus outgoing (outbound). This allows administrators to, for example, block all outbound transfers of certain file types while allowing inbound ones, or vice versa.
B is wrong because it incorrectly assumes file filtering is limited to type identification alone - modern filtering is multidimensional and directional awareness is a well-established capability.
Memory tip: Think of a security checkpoint with two lanes - one for arrivals, one for departures. Just as different rules apply in each lane, file filtering can enforce different policies based on whether files are coming in or going out.
