Selected Answer: D
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of authentication before gaining access to the system. This could include something the user knows (like a password), something the user has (like a smartphone for receiving a verification code), or something the user is (like a fingerprint or facial recognition). By implementing MFA, even if an attacker manages to obtain a user's password, they would still need additional authentication factors to access the cloud-based applications and data.
