Selected Answer: C
Brute-force attacks can take place offline or online. In case of an offline attack, the attacker has access to the encrypted material or a password hash and tries different key without the risk of discovery or interference The primary purpose of salt is to defend against dictionary attacks and precomputed rainbow table attacks, which are techniques used to reverse cryptographic hashes and discover the original input

MFA and captcha would be methods of online prevention, and salt (altering the hash of a password) for offline prevention. However, salt only makes it more difficult to succeed with the attack, but does not prevent it.
