Selected Answer: A
A LAN card can include wireless capabilities so youd want to remove it so it doesnt try to access wireless networks even after pulling out the ethernet cable. HOWEVER the question asks how to reduce damage to the HOST AND OTHER systems so, turn off the system or unplug it from the wall immediatamente

The question is saying that the ransomware itself cannot be quarantined within the system; there is no reason you can't disconnect the system from the network. Remove the LAN card.
