I think the correct answer is C. Hardware appliances are less prone to security vulnerabilities associated with the underlying operating system, making them more secure than software-based firewalls.

I agree with you, Gianna. Hardware appliances are dedicated to firewall functions, so they are less prone to attacks targeting the operating system.
