Explanation
Option A: Monitoring does not address the root cause and leaves the system vulnerable to Prevention is better than detection in this context. Option B: This approach may ensure a fresh start, but it is unnecessarily drastic and inefficient. Upgrading the vulnerable package within the existing image is typically sufficient and more Option C: This is the recommended practice for addressing vulnerabilities. Updating the specific package ensures the image is secure while maintaining functionality. Re-scanning verifies the vulnerability is resolved. Option D: Postponing mitigation can leave your systems exposed to security risks. Critical vulnerabilities should be addressed immediately.
