Selected Answer: B
The best way to block unknown programs from executing is by using an application allow list. An application allow list, also known as application whitelisting, is a security approach that allows only approved or authorized applications to run on a system. Any program or application that is not on the allow list will be blocked from executing, providing a strong defense against unknown or unauthorized software.

Selected Answer: B
Application allow list (Application Whitelisting): Application allow listing is a security approach that allows only approved or known applications to run on a system while blocking all others. Unknown or unapproved programs are automatically prevented from executing. It is an effective method for blocking the execution of unauthorized or unknown software and can help prevent malware and unauthorized applications from running on a system.
