B. Honeypot. A honeypot is a security mechanism set up to act as a trap, simulating vulnerabilities and services that might attract attackers. Its primary purpose is to be probed, attacked, or compromised in order to study the attackers' behavior, techniques, and methods without affecting the actual production systems. The isolated network containing the honeypot is separate from the main network and is designed to monitor and log any unauthorized access attempts or malicious activities. It allows the security team to study the attackers' tactics, tools, and motives while preventing them from reaching critical systems or causing damage to the actual infrastructure.
