Your frontend application VMs and your backend database VMs are all deployed in the same VPC but across different subnets. Global network firewall policy rules are configured to allow traffic from the frontend VMs to the backend VMs. Based on a recent compliance requirement, this traffic must now be inspected by network virtual appliances (NVAs) firewalls that are deployed in the same VPC. The NVAs are configured to be full network proxies and will source NAT-allowed traffic. You need to configure VPC routing to allow the NVAs to inspect the traffic between subnets. What should you do?

A. Place your NVAs behind an internal passthrough Network Load Balancer named ILB1. Add the global network firewall policy rules to allow traffic through your NVAs. Create a policy-based route (PBR) with the source IP range of the backend VM subnet, destination IP range of the frontend VM subnet, and the next hop of ILB1. Scope the PBR to the VMs with the backend network tag. Add a backend network tag to your backend servers.
B. Place your NVAs behind an internal passthrough Network Load Balancer named ILB1. Add global network firewall policy rules to allow traffic through your NVAs. Create a custom static route with the destination IP range of the backend VM subnet, frontend instance tag, and the next hop of ILB1. Add a frontend network tag to your frontend VMs.
C. Create your NVA with multiple interfaces. Configure NIC0 for NVA in the backend subnet. Configure NIC1 for NVA in the frontend subnet. Place your NVAs behind an internal passthrough Network Load Balancer named ILB1. Add global network firewall policy rules to allow traffic through your NVAs. Create a custom static route with the destination IP range of the backend VM subnet, frontend instance tag, and the next hop of ILB1. Add a frontend network tag to your frontend VMs.
D. Place your NVAs behind an internal passthrough Network Load Balancer named ILB1. Add global network firewall policy rules to allow traffic through your NVAs. Create a policy-based route (PBR) with the source IP range of the frontend VM subnet, destination IP range of the backend VM subnet, and the next hop of ILB1. Scope the PBR to the VMs with the frontend network tag. Add a frontend network tag to your frontend servers.
