Explanation

A proxy server acts as an intermediary between client devices and the internet, forwarding requests on behalf of clients. Because all outbound web traffic flows through the proxy, it is the ideal location to install a content filter - the proxy can inspect URLs and content, then block or allow requests based on policy (e.g., blocking social media or adult content). TACACS+ (B) is an authentication and authorization protocol for network device access. A DNS server (C) resolves hostnames to IP addresses (DNS-based filtering is possible but is a separate mechanism). A DHCP server (D) assigns IP addresses and has no role in content inspection.
