Explanation
This answer is correct. The threat is malicious attachments arriving from personal email addresses. Cloud-based content filtering with sandboxing (C) detonates suspicious files in an isolated cloud environment, observing behavior before the attachment is ever delivered to an endpoint. This catches zero-day malware and novel file-based threats that signature-based scanners miss. Option D (stripping all attachments) would cripple a claims-processing department that depends on receiving claim forms. VPN (B) secures the transit channel but does nothing about malicious content within emails.
