Secure Boot is a component of UEFI that helps to prevent malware or any unauthorized firmware from running on a device during the boot process. It ensures that only trusted software is loaded, and thus prevents any hijacking of the system before the operating system is loaded. The other options, Execute Disable Bit, UEFI Defender, and Bootlocker, do not solely address this specific security concern.
