Asper the ECC material the right answer is C, however this question could be appealable as in real life data can be stolen/exfiltrated through CnC servers and DNS tunneling which could be detected/mitigated by some sort of DNS solution checking on DNS queries integrity and suspicious domains. As stated by answer B.
