Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Strong security measures restricting who may access
1. A virtual private network runs over a public network, so it cannot rely on physical isolation.
2. It includes strong security measures to allow only authorized users to access the network.
3. Those measures protect the sensitive corporate information the network carries.
4. Distance, device count, and operating hours give no protection at all.
