Explanation

Setting a BIOS password is a security-related best practice that would prevent end users from booting alternative operating systems on workstations. A BIOS password restricts access to the BIOS settings, which control the boot order and other hardware configurations of the computer. Installing a host- based firewall, patching the operating system, and removing unnecessary software are also security- related best practices, but they do not directly prevent booting alternative operating systems on workstations.
