ans should be C. You cannot attach a WAF web ACL directly to a Classic Load Balancer as this is not supported. I would recommend migrating to the Application Load Balancer and attaching WAF to the Application Load Balancer. Alternatively you could create a CloudFront distribution that uses the Classic Load Balancer as the origin and then attach WAF to CloudFront https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=900985

this is a tricky question. at first you will think to have WAF for CLB, but there is no WAF for CLB. ALB is cheaper than CLB, thus you should move to ALB and apply WAF. The answer is C

C. AWS WAF can be deployed on Amazon CloudFront, the Application Load Balancer (ALB), and Amazon API Gateway. As part of Amazon CloudFront it can be part of your Content Distribution Network (CDN) protecting your resources and content at the Edge locations. As part of the Application Load Balancer it can protect your origin web servers running behind the ALBs. As part of Amazon API Gateway, it can help secure and protect your REST APIs.
