Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C,D Correct answer
Explanation

When an end-user makes a web request, data packets first hit the Internet Router at the data center boundary, which directs traffic to the correct network. Next, the Firewall inspects and filters packets before passing allowed traffic to internal servers like the Web Server. Database and Application Servers are downstream components that receive requests only after the web server processes them.
