Selected Answer: B

I thought D, but ChatGPT says B. Idk what EC Councils wants. "In the scenario, a threat actor exploited an unknown vulnerability (i.e., a zero-day or unidentified weakness), which led to a major data breach. This indicates that a single point of failure was likely exploited. The most effective countermeasure against such scenarios is to layer security controls, so that if one control fails, others are still in place to prevent or mitigate the attack. This is exactly what Defense-in-Depth provides."
