Answer: C

Explanation:

This could be the cause of the lack of visibility from the WAF (Web Application Firewall) for the web

application, as the WAF may not be able to inspect or block unencrypted HTTP traffic. To solve this issue, the web server should redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS and use SSL/TLS certificates to encrypt the traffic.
