Choosing C, because I'd rather have my IOS devices locked down tight than leave the doors wide open for hackers. Less is more when it comes to security.

Hmm, I'm gonna have to go with C. Disabling unnecessary services? Now that's how you slim down your attack surface. Smart move, Cisco.

I'm going with C. Who needs all those bloated services anyway? Keep it lean and mean, that's the way to go.

D) Two-factor authentication by default? Oooh, that's a nice security boost. Can't go wrong with extra authentication layers.

A) Telnet can't be used on newer IOS versions? Good riddance! Telnet is so outdated and insecure, glad to see it gone.

I believe D) Two-factor authentication is default required could also be a valid answer to increase security.

C) More services are disabled by default - that makes total sense to reduce the attack surface. Fewer open ports, less potential for vulnerabilities.

I agree with Karol, newer versions of IOS do disable more services by default to decrease attack surface.
