They are suitable for moderate risk environments is the correct choice because it does not describe a limitation or common behavior of stateless packet filtering routers.

Stateless packet filters operate by examining packet header fields only and they do not track connection state. Because they are simple and fast they can be acceptable in low to moderate risk environments where application level inspection is not required and performance is important.

They make permit or deny decisions using only packet header fields such as source and destination addresses protocols and ports is not the correct answer because this statement actually describes a core behavior of stateless filters. This behavior is a limitation for complex threats because there is no session tracking or deep inspection.

They fail to prevent IP or DNS address spoofing is not the correct answer because this is a common limitation of stateless filtering. Without connection context or payload inspection a stateless router cannot reliably prevent spoofed source addresses or detect malicious DNS payloads.

They cannot enforce robust user authentication is not the correct answer because it describes another real limitation. Stateless filters cannot map packets to authenticated users or perform application layer authentication checks.
