Why each option

To reduce the threat of malicious code execution from a web page, enabling a script blocker in the browser is the most effective setting.

ACache clearing

Cache clearing removes stored website data but does not prevent malicious code from executing during the current browsing session.

BPrivate browsing

Private browsing prevents the browser from storing history or cookies, but it does not inherently block malicious script execution.

CPop-up blocker

A pop-up blocker prevents unsolicited new windows from opening, which is different from blocking malicious code execution within the current page.

DScript blockerCorrect

A script blocker prevents or controls the execution of scripts, such as JavaScript, on web pages. Since malicious code often takes the form of client-side scripts, blocking them significantly reduces the attack surface and prevents unauthorized actions or data exfiltration.
