Selected Answer: C
When baselines aren’t properly applied or unauthorized changes occur, you end up with security misconfiguration—basically, your system's settings are off-kilter, creating vulnerabilities. This can lead to a host of issues like open ports, default settings, or unpatched software that attackers can exploit. The other options target more specific vulnerabilities, but misconfiguration is the broader issue resulting from not sticking to your secure baselines.
