Selected Answer: B

A wildcard certificate is a type of SSL certificate that can secure a domain and its unlimited number of subdomains. It is identified by a wildcard character () in the domain name, which represents any subdomain. In this case, the company can use a wildcard certificate for ".company.com," which would cover the main website (www.company.com), the contactus subdomain (contactus.company.com), the quotes subdomain (quotes.company.com), and any future subdomains that follow the same naming conventions, such as store.company.com.
