CompTIA expects for similar questions, that a "user training" is the best solution against phishing or similar activities. That's why I tend slightly to B over D.

The question says that the employees disclosed credentials when visiting an external website, not necessarily thorugh email (phishing). To prevent employees from visiting similar websites, it'd be best to implement a deny list of similar websites.
