Selected Answer: B
B. Decommission and replace the switch. Explanation: An end-of-support (EOS) device no longer receives security updates, patches, or vendor support. This makes it vulnerable to exploits and security risks, as there will be no fixes for known vulnerabilities. The most effective and secure approach in this situation is to decommission and replace the outdated switch with a supported model that will continue to receive security updates and patches.

While applying the latest patches is important, it is not sufficient for an EOS switch, as no future updates will be available to address new vulnerabilities. So in this case B is the best answer.
