Both would be amazing lockout and complexity, and choosing only one makes this wrong answer. But since I can choose only one I would go with lockout.

Selected Answer: A
A. Lockout Password complexity is irrelevant if the attacker has infinite attempts to guess the password (brute force). A lockout policy will allow only a specified number of attempts before the account is disabled, which stops the attack.
