Selected Answer: D
Correct answer: D. Subject alternative names were not used appropriately for subdomains. Why it’s D www.website.com is served from WEB27 using a cert for website.com (no wildcard, no SAN for “www”). Browsers reject a host name (“www.website.com”) that isn’t listed in the cert’s CN or SAN extension. Why the others don’t fit A. Expired global root CA would break all sites using that CA, not just one. B. Protocol mismatch shows TLS handshake errors, not name-mismatch browser errors. C. One cert bound to multiple sites isn’t an issue here—sales.com subdomains use a wildcard properly.
