- Not option D: a network that provides Internet users access to the internal network
A demilitarized zone (DMZ) is a network area that acts as a buffer zone between an organization's internal network and an external network, such as the internet. It is designed to provide an additional layer of security by segregating the internal network from external threats. In a DMZ, organizations typically place servers and services that need to be accessible from the internet, such as web servers or email servers. By placing these servers in the DMZ, organizations can control and monitor traffic to and from these servers more effectively, reducing the risk of a direct attack on their internal network.
