Explanation

Integrating diverse data sources (B) gives threat modelers a fuller picture of the attack landscape - combining threat intelligence feeds, vulnerability databases, logs, and contextual business data reveals patterns that no single source could expose. Limiting access to threat intelligence (A) does the opposite, creating blind spots and reducing the team's situational awareness. Focusing solely on internal threats (C) ignores the reality that most significant breaches originate externally or combine insider and outsider activity. A single threat intelligence source (D) introduces bias and coverage gaps, since no one vendor or feed captures all relevant threat actor behaviors and indicators.

Memory tip: Think "breadth beats depth in isolation" - effective threat modeling requires wide input (diverse sources) rather than narrow input (one source, one threat type, or restricted access). The word "diverse" in B directly mirrors the principle of comprehensive threat coverage.
