Explanation

The ISC2 Code of Ethics is built on four canons. Three key intents embedded in it are: (1) Protect society, the common good, necessary public trust and confidence, and the infrastructure; (2) Provide diligent and competent service to principals; and (3) Act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally. Option B correctly captures 'protect society,' 'provide competent service,' and 'act ethically.' The other options incorrectly substitute in activities like detecting, resolving, or reporting vulnerabilities - which are security tasks, not ethical canons.
