Explanation

PAN-OS does support native automatic quarantine of GlobalProtect-connected devices without requiring custom scripts (eliminating D). The correct method (C) uses a combination of: security policies to detect or block suspicious device behavior, log forwarding profiles configured with auto-tagging actions that tag a device's Host ID when a specific log condition is met, and log settings to define what triggers the action. Once tagged, a security policy can block the quarantined device from accessing network resources. Option A partially describes the manual quarantine process (adding to a quarantine list), and B describes exporting a quarantine list, neither of which constitutes the automated workflow.
