I practiced a similar question where we had to deal with malware. I think enabling scheduled scans is useful, but it might not be the immediate step needed here.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like blocking the malicious IPs could help too. Maybe option A?

I remember we discussed the importance of isolating infected machines to prevent further spread. I think option D might be the right choice.
