Explanation

The audit identified two major risk categories: data exfiltration and advanced/unknown malware. Option B addresses both: Data Loss Prevention (DLP) directly mitigates the risk of sensitive data leaving the organization (intentionally or accidentally), while machine-learning-based (behavioral) malware prevention catches zero-day and advanced threats that signature-based tools miss. Together, these two controls address the broadest and most critical risk surface. Option A focuses on patching and network-layer protection but misses data leakage. Option C omits DLP. Option D uses only signature-based detection, which is ineffective against advanced or novel malware.
