Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Lack of encryption for data in transit

Options B and E are correct because lack of encryption for data in transit exposes sensitive data to interception, and misconfigured security groups allowing overly permissive inbound rules can grant unauthorized access. Options A, C, and D are security best practices that help prevent vulnerabilities.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Enabling automatic patching

    Why it's wrong here

    Patching reduces vulnerabilities.

  • ✓

    Lack of encryption for data in transit

    Why this is correct

    Unencrypted data can be intercepted.

  • ✗

    Using multi-factor authentication

    Why it's wrong here

    MFA is a security control that reduces risk, not a vulnerability.

  • ✗

    Properly scoped IAM roles

    Why it's wrong here

    Proper IAM scoping reduces risk.

  • ✓

    Misconfigured security groups allowing overly permissive inbound rules

    Why this is correct
