D - quantifies program effectiveness (e.g., maturity models, risk assessments), provides a concise overview of security posture. Demonstrates alignment with business goals and risk appetite. Whereas B is important too but, it doesn’t directly address program effectiveness or alignment with business objectives.

Selected Answer: B

If executives can't grasp the information due to language or terminology barriers, the effectiveness of the briefing may be compromised. Therefore, using appropriate language for the target audience should be the top priority when briefing executives.
