Why each option
To address the concern of unauthorized access through repeated pattern unlock attempts on a mobile device, failed login restrictions are the most effective feature.
Remote wipe allows an administrator to erase all data on a lost or stolen device but does not prevent someone from repeatedly attempting to guess an unlock pattern in the first place.
Anti-malware software detects and removes malicious software but is unrelated to preventing brute-force attempts on a screen unlock pattern.
Device encryption protects data at rest if the device is lost or stolen, but it does not prevent or deter repeated attempts to unlock the active screen lock.
