Option D will be the best option to find the level of security awareness.

  • We should not use our corporate account for any other websites that are not trusted by the organization.
  • If the higher officials send any mail like that, we should cross-check once before logging into any website.
  • If the people reach the higher officials for confirmation, then the person who reached will be determined as Highly aware of the security checks.
  • If any person just logs in without any confirmation from higher concerned officials, then he/she will be marked as the least aware of the security checks.

=========

Please note that all the other options are also correct ones but AMONG THEM, OPTION-D is the BEST ONE..!!!

  • we can also give training from others but we will not be able to find the individual's security awareness.
  • Social media may not give all the info. about a person. We can't depend on it.
