Selected Answer: D
The correct answer is: D. Change the default admin passwords. Explanation: Changing the default admin passwords is the most critical first step when performing device hardening. Default credentials are widely known and easily exploited by attackers. By changing these to strong, unique passwords, the administrator ensures that unauthorized access to the device is immediately mitigated.
