Selected Answer: C
A web application firewall (WAF - protected behind XML and SQL injection) is typically placed between the application and the presentation layers of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model. The OSI model is a framework that is used to describe how data is transmitted over a network. It is divided into seven layers, each of which performs a specific set of functions to enable communication between devices.

For reference, an XML firewall is a specialized device used to protect applications exposed through XML based interfaces like REST and scan XML traffic coming into and going out from an organization. Typically deployed in a DMZ environment an XML Firewall is often used to validate XML traffic, control access to XML based resources, filter XML content and rate limit requests to back-end applications exposed through XML based interfaces.
