Explanation

To generate a URL Filtering log entry, traffic must first be permitted by the Security policy (set to 'allow') so it reaches the Security profile for inspection. Setting the Gambling category in the URL Filtering profile to 'alert' allows the traffic to pass while generating a log entry. If the Security policy is set to 'drop' or 'deny' (A, B), traffic is blocked before the URL profile is even evaluated, so no URL log is created. Option D (allow + allow) permits traffic but generates no alert log entry since 'allow' in the URL profile is silent.
