Explanation
A proxy server sits between internal users and the internet, forwarding web requests on behalf of clients. This allows administrators to log all web activity (monitoring) and enforce access policies that permit or deny specific sites or categories (limiting). Blocking all traffic on port 80 (A) would break all unencrypted web access entirely, which is far too broad. A NIDS (B) is a Network Intrusion Detection System that passively detects threats but cannot actively control or limit user access. Server load balancers (C) distribute traffic across multiple servers for performance and availability and have no content-control function.
