Why each option

To safely test software without compromising company systems, a technician should utilize a sandbox, which provides an isolated and secure execution environment.

ACryptography

Cryptography is about securing data through encryption and hashing, not about isolating software execution.

BSandboxCorrect

A sandbox provides an isolated environment to run untrusted applications, preventing them from accessing or modifying critical system resources, thus securing company systems during software testing.

CPerimeter network

A perimeter network (DMZ) segregates public-facing servers from the internal network, not for isolating software testing on a client system.

DFirewall

A firewall filters network traffic based on rules and does not provide an isolated execution environment for software.
