Answer should be A. DEP is a security feature that can help prevent damage to your computer from viruses and other security threats. Harmful programs can try to attack Windows by attempting to run /execute code from system memory locations reserved for Windows and other authorized programs.

Selected Answer: A
The answer is User Access Control (UAC). UAC is a security feature in Windows that prompts users to confirm the execution of potentially risky scripts, preventing accidental execution of malicious scripts. However, the other options do not directly address the prevention of executing malicious scripts: . DEP prevents code execution in non-executable memory areas . ASLR prevents attackers from reliably jumping to, for example, a particular exploited function in memory . Windows firewall prevents unauthorized network access.
