Correct answer: Noindex, nofollow.
Why this is the answer
The noindex directive tells Googlebot not to include the page in its search index. The nofollow directive instructs Googlebot not to follow any links on that page, preventing link equity from passing through them. Combined, these two commands achieve the goal of preventing both crawling and scanning of links on the page. Index, nofollow would allow the page to be indexed but prevent link scanning. Noindex, follow would prevent indexing but allow Googlebot to follow links on the page. Noindex, nocrawl is not a standard directive; nocrawl is not a valid command. Index, noranking is also not a standard directive; noranking is not a valid command.
