CBAC is more of a Firewall feature as compare to TCP intercept.

CBAC modifies the ACL while TCP intercept does not. So CBAC
is more like a stateful firewall while TCP intercept, well, is more like
to ensure every legitimate TCP connection has a complete 3-way handshake.

If they ask for stuffs like, ensure the connection can only initiate from
1 direction, then use CBAC.

TCP intercept can work in watch mode (Passive), while CBAC is always
inline/intercept mode.
