Explanation

The basic WildFire service included with PAN-OS (without a separate WildFire subscription license) supports analysis of PE (Portable Executable) files only - Windows executables such as .exe and .dll files (C). Advanced file types such as ELF (Linux executables) (A), BAT (batch scripts) (B), VBS (VBScript files) (D), APK (Android packages), PDF, Office documents, and others require a paid WildFire subscription license to be submitted for sandbox analysis. This distinction is an important exam topic: PE is the only file type covered under the basic/free WildFire tier.
