Haha, yeah, this is the kind of question that makes you feel like a real IT ninja. I'm just picturing the admin being like, 'Aha! Tricked you, Traps!'

Totally, option C is the way to go. Besides, who doesn't love a good ol' workaround? It's like we're being tested on our problem-solving skills here.

I agree with that logic. The question specifically says we can't alter the rest of the blacklist, so that rules out option D. And uninstalling and reinstalling the agent seems like overkill just to run ipconfig.exe.

Hmm, this is an interesting one. I think the answer has to be C - creating a second Child Process Protection rule to whitelist ipconfig.exe. That way, we can maintain the existing blacklist without having to modify it directly.
