Explanation
Option C maps perfectly to all three MFA factors: a password is something you know, an authentication token (like a hardware key or TOTP app) is something you have, and a thumbprint is something you are (biometric). The other options fail because they substitute non-authentication concepts-A uses network identifiers (domain name, GeoIP) that aren't user credentials; B lacks a "something you know" factor, replacing it with a VPN IP address (a network location, not a credential); D uses URLs and a home address, which are neither secrets nor biometrics.
Memory tip: Map the three factors to "KHP" - Knowledge (passwords/PINs), Hardware/possession (tokens/smart cards), Physical/biometric (fingerprints/face/retina). On the exam, any answer missing one of these categories-or substituting a network/location identifier-is wrong.
