Answer options

• A. URL filtering
• B. vulnerability protection
• C. file blocking
• D. anti-spyware

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, vulnerability protection, as it specifically addresses threats like buffer overflows and illegal code execution by identifying and mitigating potential vulnerabilities. The other options, while important for security, do not directly target the exploitation of system flaws in the same way that vulnerability protection does.
