Answers:
1. "B, C". Never let traffic cross a WAN if that traffic will be blocked on the other side anyway. It's a good rule of thumb to place extended ACLs as close to the source of the traffic as possible.
2. "B". RFC 3704 filtering denies packets sourced from each of the RFC 1918 private address ranges, the loopback address range, and the addresses 255.255.255.255 and 0.0.0.0.
3. "A,B". Two SNMP basics - use V3 whenever possible, and set community strings to RO (read-only).
4. "D". When you create RSA keys, SSH is autoenabled.
5. On average, a brute force attack must test about half of the keys before finding the right one - 50%.
6. "C". You need the clock summer-time command followed by the timezone and the recurring option.
7. ""D". By default, no users can log in during quiet time.
