D is the least effective control for protecting passwords specifically, as its primary purpose is to secure active sessions rather than safeguarding the passwords themselves.
The correct answer is B. Encryption of passwords prior to their transmission or storage. This option is the least effective control to protect passwords. While encryption is important for securing passwords, it only protects against unauthorized access to the stored or transmitted password. Other options provide additional layers of protection, such as suspending user IDs after repeated invalid password attempts, forcing password changes, and automatic logoff of inactive users
"D. Automatic logoff" also doesn't protect from stealing passwords, either. Is there any other reasonable explanation to choose C as an answer?
