Why each option

Unified Threat Management (UTM) consolidates multiple security functions such as firewall, IDS/IPS, VPN, and content filtering into a single platform, reducing administrative overhead for large infrastructures.

AUnified Threat ManagementCorrect

UTM appliances integrate diverse security controls including firewall, antivirus, intrusion prevention, web filtering, and VPN into one manageable device or platform. This consolidation directly addresses the challenge of administering a large number of disparate security devices with limited resources.

BVirtual Private Network

A VPN provides encrypted remote access tunnels but does not consolidate or integrate other security controls.

CSingle sign on

Single Sign-On simplifies authentication across multiple systems but does not integrate network security controls.

DRole-based management

Role-based management controls administrative access permissions but does not unify security device functions.
