Selected Answer: C
C. Receiving a push notification to a mobile application To protect against hackers bypassing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) through social engineering of phone carriers, using a push notification to a mobile application is a more secure option. This method is often associated with Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) generated by authenticator apps.
