Explanation
Data poisoning attacks inject malicious, corrupted, or manipulated data into training or input datasets to distort model behavior. Data validation (B) is the most direct preventive control - it verifies the integrity, source, format, and legitimacy of data before it is accepted into the system, blocking poisoned data before it can influence the model. Dataset restoration (A) is a recovery control that addresses consequences after poisoning occurs. Digital watermarking (C) helps trace data provenance but does not prevent malicious data from being introduced. Intrusion detection (D) may detect anomalous activity but does not validate the content of data itself. Only data validation acts as a gate against poisoned inputs.
