Why might a firewall rule not block incoming traffic to a Google Cloud Compute Engine instance?

Incorrect specification of allowed source IP ranges in the rule.
Firewall rules are only effective for egress traffic.
Disabled firewall service for the project containing the instance.
Insufficient memory allocated to the Compute Engine instance.

The correct answer is: Incorrect specification of allowed source IP ranges in the rule.

Firewall rules are responsible for governing both incoming and outgoing traffic, so option B is incorrect. Options C and D are related to service and resource settings rather than firewall rules, so they are also incorrect. If the source IP ranges are incorrectly specified in the rule, then it will not effectively block incoming traffic.
