Explanation

Data security (C) was cited by 87% of CEOs as their top IT concern with commercial mobility, reflecting the reality that mobile devices access sensitive corporate data over networks that are harder to control than traditional enterprise infrastructure - creating significant exposure to breaches, theft, and unauthorized access.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Software costs): Cost is a business concern, not specifically an IT concern, and it ranked far lower in CEO priorities.
• B (Back end and architecture changes): While mobility does require infrastructure updates, this is a technical implementation challenge, not the primary concern CEOs flagged.
• D (IT training): Training is a people/process issue that, while real, was not what CEOs overwhelmingly identified as the dominant IT risk.

Memory tip: Think "mobile = exposed" - when employees go mobile, corporate data travels outside the firewall. CEOs lose sleep over data walking out the door, which maps directly to security. The 87% statistic is extreme enough to signal this is the standout answer - eliminate anything that isn't about protecting data.
