The key word is "to identify potential vulnerabilities". All other answers are about how to enhance security, only C is to identify potential vulnerabilities.

Selected Answer: C
A - only useful for MITM attack, otherwise..in case of an device takeover, this would not suffice B - well, if they need them to comunicate with the ICS in order to have remote access, you cannot really use segmentation...now can you? C - Seems very valid D - well, problem with antivirus software is that it doesn't cover all the zero-days that appear. Now if it would say patching and maintaining the device up-to-date, it would be a different scenario. So C, by elimination (also AI agrees)
