Explanation

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between internal clients and the Internet. It receives HTTP (and HTTPS) requests from users, inspects them, and either forwards or blocks them based on configured policies-making it the correct device for controlling web browsing traffic. A load balancer (choice A) distributes incoming traffic across multiple servers to optimize performance but does not enforce browsing access policies. A VPN concentrator (choice B) manages encrypted VPN tunnels and is not focused on HTTP filtering. A DNS server (choice D) resolves domain names to IP addresses but does not process or control HTTP traffic flow.
