Operations and Incident Response Practice Question

Question

A candidate is reviewing a practice scenario for the CompTIA Security+ involving XSS in Operations and Incident Response. Which response best applies the concept? (Item 84)

Answer choices

1. A. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.
2. B. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.
3. C. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.
4. D. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the XSS scenario.

Correct Answer

D. The best answer is to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations for the XSS scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is D because XSS is tested by asking candidates to choose the control or response that reduces risk while preserving confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountable security operations. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
