Explanation

An Antivirus Security profile (C) scans file content in supported protocols - including FTP - against antivirus/malware signatures. Since the infected files originate externally and flow inward to internal hosts, the profile must be applied to inbound Security policy rules. URL Filtering (A) only applies to HTTP/HTTPS web traffic, not FTP. Data Filtering (B) is used to detect and block outbound data exfiltration, not inbound malware. Vulnerability Protection (D) guards against network-based exploits targeting software vulnerabilities, not file-borne malware delivered over FTP.
