Selected Answer: C
Push notifications are a form of MFA that involves sending a notification to a user's mobile device or other trusted device to verify their identity. When the user attempts to log in to an application, a push notification is sent to their device, and they can simply approve or deny the login attempt directly from the notification. This method is often more user-friendly compared to other options as it eliminates the need to manually enter codes or passwords. By using push notifications for MFA, the process becomes seamless and convenient for the user. They can quickly and easily verify their identity without having to switch between different applications or manually enter codes. This enhances the user experience and reduces disruptions while maintaining a strong level of security.

Push notifications are often used for 2FA. Users find them user-friendly and non-disruptive because they can verify their authentication by pressing a screen button.

OTPs are not any more disruptive or less user friendly than push notifications But A is the incorrect answer, unfortunately.
