B. Implement allow listing and add the office IP address as an exception. Allow listing (also known as whitelisting) involves specifying trusted IP addresses or ranges from which users can access resources without being prompted for two-factor authentication. By adding the office IP address as an exception to the two-factor authentication requirement, users connecting to the office Wi-Fi will not be prompted for two-factor authentication, while users working outside of the office will still be required to authenticate.

B Allow listing is a security technique that allows only specific IP addresses or domains to access a network or a service. By adding the office IP address as an exception, the company can prevent two-factor authentication from being triggered when users are connected to the office Wi-Fi, since the office network is considered trusted. This way, users will only be prompted for two-factor authentication when working outside of the office, which enhances security.
