Selected Answer: B
Deploying an agent on each host allows the vulnerability management tool to collect more detailed and accurate data directly from the host, including deduplication of vulnerabilities across multiple NICs. Agents can identify vulnerabilities specific to the host, rather than treating each network interface as a separate entity. This method also provides better asset tracking and vulnerability association with specific systems.
