Selected Answer: D
Reducing attack surface: Attack surface reduction involves minimizing the potential entry points for attackers. One key aspect of this is keeping systems up-to-date with the latest security patches and fixes. End-of-support operating systems are particularly vulnerable as they often lack security updates, making them prime targets for attackers. Upgrading to a supported operating system significantly reduces this risk.

Selected Answer: D
Defining Group Policy allows a security administrator to enforce specific security settings and configurations across multiple servers, such as disabling unused services, enforcing password policies, limiting user access, and restricting software installation. These actions reduce the attack surface by minimizing the number of entry points an attacker can exploit.
