I bet the question writer is just trying to confuse us with all these TLS, STARTTLS, and SMTPS acronyms. It's like they're speaking a whole different language! If only email security came with subtitles.

D is the way to go! I mean, come on, who doesn't love a good ol' SMTPS session? It's like a secret handshake for email nerds.

I'm going with C. Even though SMTPS is enabled, the STARTTLS command might be rejected by FML2 since the configurations don't seem to match up perfectly.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The topology diagram shows that the devices are connected through a firewall, which could potentially block the SMTPS traffic. I'm leaning towards B or C.

I think the correct answer is D. The configuration shows that both FML1 and FML2 have SMTPS enabled, so they should be able to establish a secure SMTP session.
