B. Disabling Windows Firewall
Explanation: Disabling the Windows Firewall would expose the workstation to remote exploitation by allowing unauthorized network traffic, increasing the risk of attackers gaining access. The firewall is a critical layer of defense that blocks untrusted connections.
Other Considerations:
A. Disabling Windows Updates: This could make the system vulnerable over time by missing patches, but it does not immediately expose the workstation to remote exploitation.
C. Enabling Remote Registry: This could introduce a risk but is less commonly targeted than disabling a firewall.
D. Enabling Remote Desktop: While this could be a risk if misconfigured, it is not inherently insecure if properly managed with strong authentication and network controls.
