Explanation
In PAN Alto Networks PAN-OS, the interzone-default rule is the implicit security policy at the bottom of the rule base that denies all traffic traveling between different security zones (e.g., from the Trust zone to the Untrust/internet zone). YouTube traffic from internal users travels from an internal zone to the external zone, making it subject to interzone-default when no explicit allow rule exists. The block page confirms a deny action is being applied. Option A (intrazone-default) handles traffic within the same zone, which would not apply to internet-bound YouTube traffic. Option B (Deny Google) is a distractor - if such a named rule existed and was hit, it would be the answer, but the interzone-default is the rule blocking it in this scenario. Option C (allowed-security services) appears to be an allow rule, not a block rule.
