Explanation

Sandboxing isolates processes, code, or data within a controlled environment so that a compromise or error in one area cannot affect the rest of the system. It enforces boundaries between components running on the same host or application. Fencing (A) and cellblocking (C) are not standard security terms in this context. Pooling (D) refers to aggregating shared resources, which is the opposite of isolation.
