Which command should you use?

    A. gcloud compute security-policies rules update 1000 \ --security-policy from-fastly \ --src-ip-ranges * \ --action "allow"

    B. gcloud compute firewall rules update sourceiplist-fastly \ --priority 100 \ --allow tcp:443

    C. gcloud compute firewall rules update hir-policy \ --priority 100 \ --target-tags=sourceiplist-fastly \ --allow tcp:443

    D. gcloud compute security-policies rules update 1000 \ --security-policy hir-policy \ --expression "evaluatePreconfiguredExpr(`sourceiplist-fastly')" \ --action "allow"
