Suggested answer: B, C

Explanation:

B. Explicit proxy allows for easier troubleshooting, since the client browser is aware of the existence of the proxy12. This means that the client can see the proxy's IP address and port number, and can use tools like ping or traceroute to check connectivity and latency issues. Transparent proxies are invisible to the client browser, which makes it harder to diagnose problems.

C. Explicit proxy supports interception of traffic using non-standard HTTPS ports3. This means thatthe proxy can handle HTTPS requests that use ports other than 443, which may be required by someapplications or websites. Transparent proxies can only intercept HTTPS traffic on port 443, whichlimits their functionality.
