Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This includes minimizing the number of applications on the host, disabling unnecessary services, and securing user accounts. A border firewall, while important for network security, does not directly relate to host hardening. Therefore, option C is incorrect. Option D is also incorrect because host hardening involves minimizing applications on the host.
