Explanation
The evolution from a tightly controlled perimeter (1–3 network access points) to a distributed model with wireless, mobile, and cloud connectivity results in increased business capabilities (more flexibility, productivity, remote access) but also increased security risks (larger, harder-to-define attack surface) with a higher Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) (more tools, staff, and controls needed) and a larger attack surface (C). The business clearly gains capability - that rules out answer D. However, security risks increase, not decrease - ruling out A. The TCO rises (not falls) because defending a distributed environment requires more investment, ruling out B. Answer C correctly captures all four dimensions of this trade-off.
