Explanation
Security Awareness is the first tier of a three-tier security education model: Awareness → Training → Education. Its PRIMARY goal is to capture employees' attention and make them conscious that security issues exist - it is not about teaching skills or deep understanding. Think of it as 'making people notice the signs.' Building specific skills is the goal of Security Training (option C). Improving understanding and application is the goal of Security Education (option D). Option A is incorrect because awareness is meant to be broad and simple, not focused on complex workflows.
