Selected Answer: A

A. 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) 2FA provides a holistic approach to enhancing security by requiring a second form of identification in addition to the standard password. Given the audit findings of weak password policies and insufficient security controls for internet-facing services, implementing 2FA would be the most effective single strategy to mitigate the risks of unauthorized access. The question ask "strategies" with an "s"which is more than one. The answer should be pick two: A. 2FA D. OTP

Answer is A. The question is only asking you to pick one answer from the four strategies given. The sentence only used plural form of "strategy" because they gave more than one choice, not because they are asking for multiple answers.
