Explanation
Making security awareness training mandatory ensures consistent coverage across the entire organization, reducing the human risk surface. Option A (once a year only) is insufficient given the evolving threat landscape - best practice calls for continuous or periodic training. Option C (same training for all) is also not ideal because different roles carry different risks and responsibilities; role-based training is more effective. Mandatory, role-appropriate, and regularly updated training is the recognized best practice.
