To optimize drops, you can use Priority Queues and fully enable Dynamic Dispatcher on the Security Gateway23. Priority Queues are a mechanism that prioritizes part of the traffic when the Security Gateway is stressed and needs to drop packets. Dynamic Dispatcher is a feature that dynamically assigns new connections to a CoreXL FW instance based on the utilization of CPU cores. To enable both features, you need to run the command fw ctl multik set_mode 9 on the Security Gateway4. Therefore, the correct answer is C. fw ctl multik set_mode 9.
