Explanation

Option A is correct because a Web Application Firewall (WAF) is specifically designed to inspect and filter HTTP/HTTPS traffic, including file upload requests, applying rules that can block malicious file types, oversized payloads, or uploads containing embedded threats. File uploads are a common attack vector, so WAFs enforce restrictions such as allowed file extensions, maximum file sizes, and content scanning as part of their core security function. Option B is incorrect because it assumes the WAF passes file upload traffic through without intervention, which contradicts the fundamental purpose of a WAF - traffic inspection and policy enforcement apply to all request types, not just browsing requests. The WAF does not simply monitor passively; it actively gates what reaches the web server.

Memory tip: Think of a WAF as a security checkpoint at an airport - everything going through, including luggage (file uploads), gets screened and is subject to rules. Nothing bypasses the checkpoint just because it is a different type of item.
