Explanation

The Threat Prevention license is required. On Palo Alto Networks firewalls, Antivirus is not a standalone license - it is bundled within the Threat Prevention subscription, which also includes Anti-Spyware and Vulnerability Protection content updates. There is no separate standalone 'Antivirus' license (choice C) available for purchase. WildFire (choice B) is a separate subscription for cloud-based malware analysis and provides WildFire signature updates, but the base Antivirus updates require Threat Prevention. URL Filtering (choice D) is an entirely separate subscription for web categorization.
