Options B and C are correct. VPNs provide encrypted communication (B) and allow access to internal resources (C). Option A is incorrect because a VPN does not eliminate the need for antivirus software; it only secures the connection. Option D is incorrect because VPNs do not directly reduce hardware costs; they may require additional server or client resources. Option E is incorrect because VPNs typically reduce bandwidth due to encryption overhead, not increase it.
