What is the most efficient way in Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) to apply a Security policy to all ten firewalls in one data center?
The correct answer is D. Create a folder that groups the ten firewalls together, then create the Security policy at that.

Explanation
Strata Cloud Manager uses a hierarchical folder structure to organize devices and apply configurations at scale. By placing all ten data center firewalls inside a dedicated folder and creating the Security policy at that folder's configuration scope, SCM automatically pushes the policy to every firewall within the folder-one creation step, ten firewalls covered. This is the most efficient approach. Creating policies on each firewall individually (option A) requires ten separate actions. Setting scope to 'Global' (option B) would apply the policy across all firewalls organization-wide, not just the data center group, which is broader than intended. Cloning a policy (option C) still requires multiple manual steps and is far less efficient than folder-based inheritance.
