Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancer supports UDP traffic within a single region.Step 2: Exclude other options
Network Load Balancer is regional but not internal; Global HTTP(S) does not support UDP; SSL Proxy is for TCP with SSL offloading.Final Answer:
Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancer because it supports UDP traffic within a region -> Option BQuick Check:
UDP internal traffic = Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancer [OK]
Quick Trick: UDP internal traffic uses Internal TCP/UDP Load Balancer [OK]
