Selected Answer: A
The best compensating control in this scenario would be A. Segmentation. Since the server is running a legacy OS with an unpatched remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability, segmentation can help isolate it from the rest of the network, reducing the risk of exploitation. By placing the vulnerable server in a separate network zone with strict access controls, attackers would have a harder time reaching it.
