another convoluted question. It says "home network". we dont know the exact usecase so i would assume its fair to think that this IoT device does not need internet connection. I would have chosen B

You don't prevent vulnerabilities while keeping something out of internet. I guess with regards to asked question, answer is correct.

Cant attack something if its not connected to the internet. Answer should be B. It does say the best, not the most practical.
