Selected Answer: B
Explanation: The current password policy is weak (only five characters, letters, and numbers), making it highly vulnerable to brute-force attacks. However, since changing the password policy is not an option, the best way to enhance security is by implementing multi-factor authentication (MFA). Why MFA with OTP? ✔ Adds an extra layer of security without changing passwords. ✔ Lowest cost option—many SaaS providers (e.g., Microsoft 365, Google Workspace) offer built-in MFA for free. ✔ Easy to implement and use—users enter a one-time password (OTP) sent via SMS, email, or authenticator apps. ✔ Reduces risk of account compromise even if the password is weak.

B. Enable MFA with a one-time password: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an additional layer of security by requiring users to provide a one-time password (OTP) in addition to their existing password. This significantly increases security at a relatively low cost.
