Which of the following BEST enables an organization to control which software can be installed on a user’s computer?

Answer options

• A. Access list
• B. Capabilities list
• C. Baseline list

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct choice, D (Blocked list), allows an organization to specify and restrict software that cannot be installed on user computers, ensuring better control over the software environment.
