I bet the person who wrote this question is sitting at home in their pajamas, cackling maniacally. Option B is the correct answer, but only because the other choices are too obvious.

D is the least likely? Really? Attackers are probably salivating at the thought of all those juicy vulnerabilities. This question is clearly a trap!

Hmm, I'm going to go with A. A global pandemic is bound to lead to a surge in remote work, which is always a security nightmare.

D is a valid concern as well, attackers may take advantage of operational changes during a pandemic.

Haha, the correct answer is obviously B. Who needs physical security when we're all working from our bathrooms, am I right?

This is a tricky one. I'd say option B is the least likely. A global pandemic would likely cause the opposite - a reduction in physical security requirements as companies focus on remote work.
