Question:

What will you configure for an application that you desire to block from communicating through your Windows Defender Firewall?

A A restriction.
explanation

A network restriction means that you will not allow an application to communicate through a firewall, whereas an exemption means that the program will be allowed to communicate through the firewall. To configure a restriction in Windows Defender Firewall, launch it from the Control Panel and navigate to Advanced Settings, Outbound Rules, and New Rule. Check the Program box and then click Next. Click Browse to find the program file, then click to select it before clicking Open. In the New Outbound Rule Wizard dialog box, the program path should appear. Select Block The Connection after clicking Next. Click Next twice more, then name your rule and click Finish. A mapped network drive is one that has a drive letter on a local computer allocated to a folder that is shared on a remote device. A network share might occur on a device that has folders that you want others on your network to have access to.
