Explanation

A (vectors) is correct because a threat-centric security model is specifically designed to identify, understand, and defend against attack vectors - the pathways or methods an attacker uses to gain unauthorized access (e.g., phishing emails, unpatched software, compromised credentials). The entire philosophy centers on following the threat across every possible route it could take.

B (offices) is wrong because physical office locations are irrelevant to this security model's framework - it's a conceptual approach, not a geographic one.

C (layers) describes a defense-in-depth strategy, which is about stacking multiple security controls, not about tracking threats across their attack pathways.

D (protocols) refers to network communication rules (TCP/IP, HTTP, etc.) and describes a narrower, technical scope - not the broad, holistic coverage that threat-centric security addresses.

Memory tip: Think "threat follows a vector like an arrow" - just as a vector in math has direction and magnitude, an attack vector has a direction (the path an attacker takes) toward a target. Threat-centric = tracking that arrow across all its possible paths.
