Explanation
"Ensure data legitimacy" is correct because legitimacy is not one of the established network security deployment goals - it is not a recognized component of security frameworks and has no standard definition in this context. The three widely accepted goals form the CIA triad: Confidentiality (option C), which protects data from unauthorized access; Integrity (option D), which ensures data has not been tampered with or altered; and Availability (option B), which guarantees that authorized users can access data and systems when needed. All three distractors (B, C, and D) are legitimate, core security objectives that appear in virtually every network security standard and framework.
Memory tip: Remember the acronym CIA - Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability. Any answer that falls outside these three pillars is likely the "not a goal" option on exam questions like this one.
