A healthcare organization notices many rogue APs and is concerned about a honeypot attack. Which configuration must a wireless network engineer perform in Cisco Prime Infrastructure to prevent these attacks most efficiently upon detection?
A.
Set the auto containment level to 0 and select the Using Our SSID containment option.
B.
Set the manual containment level to 4 and select the Ad Hoc Rogue AP containment option.
C.
Set the auto containment level to 0 and select the Ad Hoc Rogue AP containment option.
D.
Set the auto containment level to 4 and select the Using Our SSID containment option.
Answer is D.
Honeypot attacks: A honeypot AP spoofs the SSID (and eventually MAC) of a real AP.
Level 0 containment does not exist.
Using our SSID option ensures that any rogue AP with the same SSID as "My Network" is contained.
At the first I agreed with you,bBut the questions stand for Cisco Prime Infrastructure. Using our SSID option is for WLC. So, I think i will stay for B.
B is the most logical answer here.

The two answers with 0 containment aren't even valid options as the level is 1-4. Containing your own SSID makes no sense, so B is the only option left.
Auto Containment Level to 4:
Setting the auto containment level to 4 ensures that rogue APs are automatically contained as soon as they are detected. This level provides the most aggressive containment, which is necessary to prevent honeypot attacks and protect the network from unauthorized access points.
Using Our SSID Containment Option:
The Using Our SSID containment option ensures that rogue APs broadcasting the organization's SSID are contained. This is critical for preventing honeypot attacks, where attackers mimic the organization's SSID to lure clients into connecting to a malicious AP.

Use of our SSID - If a rogue device uses an SSID which is the same as that configured on the controller, it is automatically contained. This feature aims to address a honey-pot attack before it causes damage.

D. Agree with Mimimimimi, level 0 is not an option. Using own SSID is correct. The legit corp access points will send de-authentication messages to any client connected to the rouge AP on the corp SSID. It will not effect users connected to legit access points.
I did it on a testsystem:
Dashboard > Incidents > Rogue Alarms > Open a destinctive Alarm > "AP containment" option > select "4 AP containment"
The wording of "B" is really bad, but at least, I was able to use "B" as hint and to find the menue items in Prime 3.10 to complete this task.
My prime is running in KVM and RHEL8 using the 12Gig RAM installation option. Disk is SAMSUNG SSD with 1000 MByte/s peak throughput
Answer is D
