Answer options

• A. It increases system resiliency.
• B. It reduces external threats to data.
• C. It reduces exposure of data.
• D. It eliminates attack motivation for data.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is accurate because system hardening directly aims to decrease the exposure of sensitive data to potential threats. While options A, B, and D may seem beneficial, they do not capture the primary focus of hardening, which is to specifically reduce the data's exposure to vulnerabilities.
