Explanation
In (ISC)² and CISSP ethics, 'due care' refers to acting responsibly and doing what a reasonable person would consider right in a given situation-essentially making sound ethical decisions as situations arise. It is distinct from 'due diligence,' which involves proactive research and acquiring the knowledge and processes to perform one's job correctly (closer to option C). Option A (patching annually) describes a specific operational task, not a general ethical principle. Option D (continuing legacy practices) does not capture the ethical decision-making aspect of due care. Due care is about the quality and ethics of actions taken, not just following procedures.
