Not correct to me. Seems to be B. Documentation says it does not change profiles. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma/prisma-access/prisma-access-cloud-managed-admin/create-prisma-access-policy/policy-optimizer

D is correct, though the working in the question is the most common usage of policy optimizer. I guess it depends on that as B may also be the answer.

Selected Answer: B
Identification of Overly Permissive Rules: The Policy Optimizer categorizes rules as overly permissive if they are allowing any application traffic and are at least 90 days old. This categorization is important because such rules can introduce security gaps by allowing unnecessary traffic

for me is A Policy Optimizer identifies port-based rules so you can convert them to application-based allow rules or add applications from a port-based rule to an existing application-based rule without compromising application availability. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/app-id/security-policy-rule-optimization
