Why each option

To prevent unwanted antivirus browser extensions from being installed, disabling the ability for browser extensions to be installed would be the direct solution.

AClearing browser history

Clearing browser history only removes browsing data and has no effect on the installation or presence of browser extensions.

BChanging proxy settings

Changing proxy settings directs internet traffic through a different server but does not control the installation of browser extensions by software.

CDisabling certificate verification

Disabling certificate verification would severely compromise browser security and would not prevent unwanted browser extensions from being installed.

DDisabling browser extensionsCorrect

If the antivirus software is automatically installing browser extensions as part of its update, and these extensions are causing issues, disabling the installation of browser extensions or configuring group policies to prevent unwanted extensions from being installed would directly prevent this recurring problem. This ensures that only approved or essential extensions are present.
