This has to be D.
The recovery time objective (RTO) is the maximum tolerable length of time that a computer, system, network or application can be down after a failure or disaster occurs.
This does nothing to help with CPU utilization. Load balancing does this.
The higher recovery time takes for a system, the higher the CPU utilization will be for that system. It's best to recover the system as soon as possible to free the CPU stuck on that recovery.
Selected Answer: C
During a risk assessment, which of the following should be considered when planning to mitigate high CPU utilization of a firewall?
A. Recovery time objective
B. Uninterruptible power supply
C. NIC teaming
D. Load balancing
ChatGPT
C. NIC teaming
NIC teaming (also known as network interface card teaming or bonding) is a strategy used to mitigate high CPU utilization on a firewall or any network device. NIC teaming involves combining multiple network interfaces into a single logical interface. This can help distribute network traffic and reduce the load on a single network interface and its associated CPU resources.
The other options listed—A. Recovery time objective, B. Uninterruptible power supply, and D. Load balancing—are not directly related to mitigating high CPU utilization on a firewall.

ChatGPT gave me this, so maybe take it with a grain of salt. Its just a study tool, not the difinitive source of all knowledge:
When planning to mitigate high CPU utilization of a firewall, load balancing should be considered as part of the risk assessment. Load balancing distributes network traffic across multiple devices or resources to ensure even distribution of the workload and prevent any single device from becoming overwhelmed, which can lead to high CPU utilization and decreased performance.
The other options listed are related to different aspects of network planning and management:
A. Recovery time objective (RTO) refers to the targeted time frame within which systems or services should be restored after a disruption.
B. Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) provides backup power in case of electrical outages but is not directly related to mitigating high CPU utilization.
C. NIC teaming involves combining multiple network interfaces into a single logical interface for redundancy and increased bandwidth, but it's not specific to mitigating high CPU utilization on a firewall.
One of the factors that should be considered when planning to mitigate the high CPU utilization of a firewall is load balancing. Load balancing is a technique that distributes network traffic across multiple servers or devices to improve performance and reliability. Using load balancing, a network technician can reduce the workload on a single firewall and prevent it from becoming overloaded or bottlenecked. Load balancing can also provide redundancy and failover in case one of the firewalls fails or becomes unavailable.
D. Load balancing
Load balancing can help distribute network traffic across multiple firewalls to prevent any single firewall from becoming overwhelmed with traffic, which can result in high CPU utilization. By balancing the load across multiple firewalls, organizations can ensure that their firewall infrastructure is always available, and their security policies are enforced effectively.
A. Recovery time objective, B. Uninterruptible power supply, and C. NIC teaming are not directly related to mitigating high CPU utilization of a firewall. Recovery time objective is a measure of how quickly a system can be recovered after a disruption, while uninterruptible power supply provides backup power in the event of a power outage, and NIC teaming is a way to combine multiple network interfaces into a single logical interface to provide redundancy and increased network throughput. While these are important considerations for risk assessment and infrastructure planning, they are not directly related to mitigating high CPU utilization of a firewall.
The key word is "Risk assessment" RTO (Recovery Time Objective) should be seriously be considered because the company needs to know how long downtime can be tolerated in the process of resolving the high CPU utilization of the firewall.
Load balancing is not the first thing to consider here so A is absolutely correct.
no key words are "following should be considered when planning to mitigate high CPU utilization of a firewall" its asking for something to stop the problem
what does a load balancer have to do with a firewall though? I think its A because the company is assessing the risk of a firewall to possibly go down due to high utilization therefore; RTO makes sense.
It is A. During a Risk assessment. YOu take risk into account and The recovery time objective (RTO) is the maximum tolerable length of time that a computer, system, network or application can be down after a failure. Answer is A
