Which two- factor authentication solution would resolve the gaps in the current CGE environment, and meet the business and security requirements based on the current client types in use?
The correct answer is A. A physical token carried by the end user. A physical token provides strong two-factor authentication by adding a 'something you have' factor, thereby resolving security gaps effectively.

Why each option
A physical token provides strong two-factor authentication by adding a 'something you have' factor, thereby resolving security gaps effectively.
A physical token, such as a hardware security key or an OTP token, provides a strong 'something you have' factor for two-factor authentication, significantly enhancing security by requiring possession of a physical item in addition to a password. This solution directly addresses the need for strong 2FA.
A complex Active Directory password enforced by Group Policy only enhances the 'something you know' factor and does not provide two-factor authentication, as it still relies on a single authentication factor.
RADIUS authentication with an Employee ID Number alone does not constitute two-factor authentication; the ID number is typically an identifier or a 'something you know' factor, but it is not a distinct second factor unless combined with another secret or biometric.
