Which of the following devices should be placed within a DMZ?

A.
Router
B. Firewall
C. Mail relay
D. Authentication server

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation:
A mail relay should normally be placed within a demilitarized zone (DMZ) to shield the internal network. An authentication server, due to its sensitivity, should always be placed on the internal network, never on a DMZ that is subject to compromise. Both routers and firewalls may bridge a DMZ to another network, but do not technically reside within the DMZ, network segment.
