Answer: B,D

Explanation:

Packet-Based Attack Protection is a feature of Zone Protection Profiles that allows the firewall to drop packets that are malformed, spoofed, or part of a port scan. TCP Drop and SYN Random Early Drop are two options under Packet-Based Attack Protection that can be enabled to protect against TCP-based attacks. TCP Drop enables the firewall to check for spoofed IP addresses, mismatched overlapping TCP segments, and invalid IP options. SYN Random Early Drop enables the firewall to drop SYN packets randomly when the SYN queue is full, preventing SYN flood attacks. ICMP Drop and TCP Port Scan Block are not valid options under Packet-Based Attack Protection
