The correct answer is C: Threat modeling analyzes an application's architecture, data flows, trust boundaries, etc. to systematically uncover risks and determine mitigating controls that need to be implemented. This aligns with identifying controls in development. -Agile and secure development are general methodologies, not specific analysis techniques. -Pen testing validates controls but comes after development.

Selected Answer: C
Application threat modeling visualizes an application's attack surface to identify threats and vulnerabilities that pose a risk to functionality or data. By decomposing the application architecture into its security-relevant components, teams can better understand the various threats and risks the application might face.
