The AWS Documentation mentions the following on AWS WAF which can be used to protect Application Load Balancers and Cloud front A web access control list (web ACL) gives you fine-grained control over the web requests that your Amazon CloudFront distributions or Application Load Balancers respond to. You can allow or block the following types of requests:

Originate from an IP address or a range of IP addresses

Originate from a specific country or countries

Contain a specified string or match a regular expression (regex) pattern in a particular part of requests Exceed a specified length Appear to contain malicious SQL code (known as SQL injection) Appear to contain malicious scripts (known as cross-site scripting)

Option A is invalid because by default Security Groups have the Deny policy Options B and C are invalid because these services cannot be used to block IP addresses For information on AWS WAF, please visit the below URL:
