Q: 4
What is the purpose of hardening systems?

Discussion
Had something like this in a mock recently. The main goal of hardening is to securely configure devices to minimize vulnerabilities, so limiting the attack surface. Option A lines up with that. The others are more about detection or analysis after the fact, not prevention.
Option D might fit if the question was asking about incident response, but since it's about hardening, do they mean "best purpose" or just "one of the purposes"? That would change things here.
