Explanation

Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) delivers cloud-native firewall capabilities including deep packet inspection at Layer 7 (the application layer), granular access control policies, and integrated threat detection/prevention - making it the only option that combines all three capabilities mentioned in the question.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (IaaS) is a cloud delivery model for compute/storage/networking infrastructure - it provides the platform but has no built-in security inspection or threat prevention features.
• B (Remote Browser Isolation) protects users by executing web browsing in a remote container, but it's narrowly scoped to browser traffic and doesn't provide broad network access control or threat prevention across all Layer 7 traffic.
• C (Network Sandbox) analyzes suspicious files or code in an isolated environment to detect malware - useful for threat analysis, but it's not a traffic inspection or access control tool.

Memory tip: Think of FWaaS as a traditional next-generation firewall lifted into the cloud. The "as a Service" delivery method changes where it runs, but the defining features - Layer 7 inspection, access control, and threat prevention - remain the firewall's core job. If a question asks about inspecting, controlling, and blocking application-layer traffic, FWaaS is almost always the answer.
