Explanation

Enclave Boundaries (C) refers to a collection of local computing devices - regardless of physical location - interconnected via LANs and governed by a single, unified security policy, which matches the definition exactly as defined in the DoD Information Assurance Framework.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Networks and Infrastructures) covers the communication pathways and physical/logical connections between systems, not a governed collection of computing devices.
• B (Supporting Infrastructures) refers to underlying services like power, environmental controls, and physical facilities that support IT operations.
• D (Local Computing Environments) refers to individual endpoints - the hardware, OS, and applications on a single device - not a collection of devices under a shared policy.

Memory tip: Think of an enclave like a gated community - devices inside share the same rules (security policy) and are connected locally (LANs), but the community can span multiple physical locations. The word "enclave" implies a bounded, governed group, which maps directly to the definition.
