Answer is C A Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) file contains a set of rules coded in JavaScript which allows a web browser to determine whether to send web traffic direct to the Internet or be sent via a proxy server. PAC files can control how a web browser handles HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP traffic http://findproxyforurl.com/pac-file-introduction/

C. .PAC file A .PAC (Proxy Auto-Config) file is a JavaScript file that is used to configure proxy settings for client desktop browsers. The .PAC file provides a set of instructions that determine whether a client should connect directly to a target resource or whether it should use a proxy. The .PAC file can be hosted on a web server and can be referenced by the client browser to automatically configure the proxy settings. In explicit proxy mode, the client desktop browser must be configured to use the proxy for all outbound connections. With a .PAC file, the client desktop browser can be configured to select when to connect directly to a target resource or when to use the proxy based on the destination URL. This provides greater flexibility and control over proxy settings, and allows the client to easily access different types of external HTTP resources, such as Intranet, Extranet, and Internet, with different proxy configurations.
