Explanation

VM-Series (B) is Palo Alto Networks' virtualized next-generation firewall deployable directly in public clouds (AWS, Azure, GCP), making it ideal for securing east-west traffic between cloud workloads. CN-Series (D) is the container-native firewall purpose-built for Kubernetes environments, deployed as a DaemonSet to enforce policy at the pod level - directly addressing the Kubernetes workload security requirement.

PA-Series (A) is wrong because it refers to physical hardware appliances, which cannot be deployed in a public cloud environment. Panorama (C) is wrong because it is a centralized management and visibility platform - it manages firewalls but is not itself a traffic-inspection deployment option.

Memory tip: Match the prefix to the platform - VM-Series = Virtual Machine (cloud), CN-Series = Container/Kubernetes. If the question mentions cloud VMs or east-west flows, think VM-Series; if it mentions Kubernetes or containers, think CN-Series.
