Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configure Windows BitLocker drive encryption on the system drive.
Why it's wrong here
BitLocker protects data at rest against physical theft, not agent tampering.
- ✗
Enable User Account Control (UAC) at the default notification level.
Why it's wrong here
UAC prompts users for admin credentials but does not protect against local admin tampering.
- ✗
Set the endpoint network profile to Public domain.
Why it's wrong here
Network profiles control firewall behavior for public vs private networks.
- ✓
Enable Anti-Tamper protection with a designated administrator password.
Why this is correct
Anti-tamper protection requires a password or token to modify or uninstall the agent.
