The correct answer is B. Rule Header and Rule Options . Check Point supports SNORT rule import so administrators can create custom IPS protections from SNORT signatures. The official Check Point SNORT Signature Support documentation states that SNORT rules use signatures to define attacks and that a SNORT rule has a rule header and rule options . It also provides the syntax structure, where the first section contains action, protocol, source, destination, ports, and direction, while the options section contains keywords such as message and content match criteria.

The Rule Header defines the traffic selector and enforcement context: protocol, source address, source port, direction, destination address, and destination port. The Rule Options define the detection logic and metadata inside parentheses, such as msg, content, and other matching keywords. “Rule body” is not the formal Check Point/SNORT term in this context, and “rule start/rule stop” is not a recognized logical construction. This matters because imported SNORT rules become IPS protections, so syntax correctness affects whether the Management Server can parse, import, and enforce the custom signature.
