   A company with remote users in Europe and Asia is deploying Prisma Access. They want traffic from users in Asia to reach a SaaS application hosted in the US. The routing preference is set to 'prefer local egress'. Which statement best describes how Prisma Access will route this traffic?

   • ATraffic will be routed to the Prisma Access location with the lowest latency, regardless of geographic proximity.
   • BTraffic will be sent directly from the user's device to the SaaS application without passing through Prisma Access.
   • CTraffic will egress from the closest available Prisma Access location in Asia and then traverse the internet to the SaaS application.
   • DTraffic will be backhauled over the Prisma Access backbone to a US location before egressing to the SaaS application.
