To achieve this the minimum capability of the firewall should be that of

A
A combinational circuit
B
A finite automaton
C
A pushdown automaton with one stack
D
A pushdown automaton with two stacks
Question 18 Explanation: 
Pushdown automata with two stacks which is the Turing machine.
Turing machine can do everything as the normal computer can do, so firewall can be created by the TM.
