An e-commerce site uses NGINX as a load balancer. The security team wants to limit each client IP to 10 requests per second to prevent abuse. They also want to allow a burst of up to 20 requests. Which configuration should be used?

Set `client_max_body_size 10k;` in the server block to limit request size.

Define a `limit_req_zone` with a shared memory zone and set `limit_req zone=api limit=10r/s burst=20;` in the location block.

Define a `limit_conn_zone` with a shared memory zone and set `limit_conn zone=api 10;` in the location block.

Use the `access_log` directive to log all requests and manually block IPs that exceed the limit.

An administrator is configuring NGINX to terminate TLS for a load-balanced application. They want to ensure that only TLS 1.2 and 1.3 are supported. Which configuration should they use?

Set `listen 443 ssl;` in the `server` block.

Set `ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;` in the `server` block.

Set `ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;` in the `http` block.

Set `ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;` in the `server` block.
