A. Close ports 69 and 1010 and rerun the scan. Port 69 is typically associated with the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), which is not commonly used for internet-facing web applications and could pose a security risk if left open unnecessarily. Port 1010 doesn't have a well-known service associated with it, so it could be potentially used by an unauthorized service or application. Closing these ports would be a proactive step towards securing the server while addressing the reported issues. After closing the ports, it's advisable to rerun the scan to ensure that only necessary ports are open and accessible.
