Explanation

Detection tools struggle to keep pace because cyber threats are constantly evolving (A) and threat actors continuously refine their attack methods, techniques, and procedures to evade detection (D) - both factors mean that signatures, rules, and behavioral baselines become outdated almost as fast as they're created.

Why B is wrong: Physical security of the data center is a separate control domain (access control, surveillance) and has no bearing on whether software-based detection tools can identify cyber threats effectively.

Why C is wrong: While encryption can complicate deep packet inspection, network protocols themselves don't inherently limit detection tools - many tools are designed to handle encrypted traffic via TLS inspection, metadata analysis, or endpoint-side visibility.

Memory tip: Think "moving targets" - both the threat landscape (A) and the attackers themselves (D) are always moving, making it impossible for static detection tools to stay current. If a choice describes something stable or physical, it's not the answer.
