Selected Answer: A
Enabling the auto-wipe feature after multiple failed access attempts adds a crucial layer of security to the device. In the event of loss or theft, if unauthorized individuals attempt to access the device and fail multiple times to enter the correct authentication credentials, the device will automatically wipe all data, including the confidential information stored on it. This measure significantly reduces the risk of sensitive data falling into the wrong hands and being leaked or misused. It helps protect the organization's data integrity and confidentiality by ensuring that sensitive data is not compromised even if the device is lost or stolen.

It would be A. However, even if access fails during normal operation, all data will be erased, so operational care is required.
