Selected Answer: C
EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) is the most suitable solution among the given options for detecting the presence of a rootkit. EDR solutions continuously monitor and collect data from endpoints, looking for suspicious activities and behavior patterns that might indicate the presence of malware, including rootkits. They also provide tools for investigating and responding to security incidents, making them effective for dealing with sophisticated threats that can evade traditional antivirus solutions. Here is a brief explanation of the other options: A. FDE (Full Disk Encryption): FDE is a technology that encrypts the entire hard drive of a computer. While it is effective in protecting data at rest, especially in case of device theft or loss, it does not actively detect or prevent malware or rootkits.
