Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Container Runtime Defense policy
Why this is correct
Container Runtime Defense rules inspect process executions, network connections, and file system activities inside containers.

Vulnerability Management Image Scanning
Why it's wrong here
Image scanning identifies known CVEs in packages, but does not block running processes at runtime.

Why it's wrong here

Why it's wrong here
