Explanation

The VM-Series bootstrap package has four mandatory top-level directories: /config, /license, /content, and /software. Since the question excludes /config and asks for the other three mandatory ones, the answers are /license (holds license authorization codes or license files), /content (holds App-ID, Threat, and Antivirus content updates), and /software (holds the PAN-OS software image). The /plugins directory is optional and not required for a valid bootstrap package. The /opt directory is not a recognized bootstrap directory at all.
