answer is B: Asymmetric key algorithms use a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. Examples include the RSA, Diffie-Hellman, El Gamal, and elliptic curve cryptography standards

Wrong, an IDS would not prevent ANYTHING. In the context of using someone else's account, you'd need MFA to prevent the attack from succeeding

Why not TPM?

TPM may be used in practical scenarios at it helps in device attestation which is a form of phishing resistant passwordless authentication. But with regards to the exam, its MFA.

What about SSO? MFA is authentication not authorization technology

The attackers are trying to get in by pretending to be someone who is allowed right? SSO doesnt help to prevent attackers from fooling the system. SSO is just using username and password often in a federation setting. MFA makes the attacker have two different things to sign on (such as password and fingerprint). So MFA would be the answer

Selected Answer: C
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a security mechanism that requires users to provide two or more forms of identification before gaining access to a system. It is designed to prevent attackers from gaining access by pretending to be authorized users because they would need to provide multiple pieces of evidence to prove their identity.

Selected Answer: C
MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of identification or verification before accessing a system or application. It typically combines something the user knows (such as a password), something the user has (such as a physical token or mobile device), or something the user is (such as biometric data) to authenticate their identity. By implementing MFA, even if an attacker manages to obtain or guess a user's password, they would still need the additional factor (such as a physical token or biometric data) to successfully authenticate as the authorized user.

C is correct since MFA = harder to impersonate due to having multifactor authentication.

YEs MFA is a technology. Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a security technology that requires multiple methods of authentication from independent categories of credentials to verify a user's identity for a login or other transaction.
