Explanation
Panorama uses a three-tier policy hierarchy to give central administrators control while still allowing local firewall administrators flexibility. The evaluation order is: (1) Panorama pre-rules - pushed from Panorama and evaluated first; these are typically used to enforce mandatory organizational policies that cannot be overridden locally. (2) Local firewall rules - defined directly on the firewall; evaluated second, allowing local admins to add site-specific rules. (3) Panorama post-rules - pushed from Panorama and evaluated last; typically used for catch-all or default deny rules. This sandwich model (pre > local > post) means Panorama can enforce top-priority rules and default rules while local admins manage what's in between. Options A, C, and D describe behaviors that do not exist: Panorama shared post-rules don't continue evaluating after a local match, post-rules cannot be moved before local rules, and the evaluation order is fixed within a device group - it cannot be reconfigured differently.
