The Windows Firewall helps protect the computer from unauthorized access and blocks certain types of traffic that may be harmful. While malware and spyware may also cause harm, simply having a password does not protect against these threats. A router can provide additional security, but it is important to ensure that the Windows Firewall is also turned on. Therefore, the best choice to ensure Pedro's protection is C, Windows Firewall.
