Explanation
IoT (Internet of Things) devices-smart thermostats, cameras, sensors, etc.-are a well-known security concern because they often ship with weak or default credentials, receive infrequent firmware updates, and dramatically expand a network's attack surface. A NIC (Network Interface Card) is simply hardware for network connectivity, PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a power-delivery standard, and LC is a fiber-optic connector type. None of the other options introduce the same category of security risk that IoT devices do.
