Explanation

A Universal security rule matches both interzone traffic (between different zones, e.g., Inside to Outside) and intrazone traffic (within the same zone, e.g., Inside to Inside). This is the default rule type in PAN-OS and is the broadest match. An Interzone rule (choice C) only matches traffic flowing between two different zones. An Intrazone rule (choice B) only matches traffic within the same zone. 'Global' (choice A) is not a valid PAN-OS security rule type - the three valid types are Universal, Intrazone, and Interzone.
