The most effective preventative technical control to reduce the risk of future occurrences of data breaches through social engineering attacks is D. Multi-factor authentication. Multi-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security by requiring users to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource such as an application, online account, or a VPN. This makes it harder for potential intruders to gain access and steal personal data or identities

Training and awareness (B) is not a technical control. It’s a type of administrative control that can help educate users about the risks of social engineering attacks and how to avoid them, but it does not provide a technical barrier to these attacks.
