D is more about resource management, not really a security benefit.

Wait, can IaC really reduce security risks? Not so sure about that.

I definitely recall that IaC is supposed to improve security, but I’m hesitant about saying it reduces the need for audits.

I feel like I might confuse this with other questions about IaC. Did we cover how it relates to auditing?

I think option B makes sense because automation can help ensure security settings are applied uniformly, right?

I remember reading that IaC helps with consistent configurations, but I'm not sure if that's the main benefit in cybersecurity.

I'm a bit confused by this question. Reducing the need for security auditing doesn't sound like a benefit to me. And increasing manual control over settings seems counterintuitive to the whole idea of IaC. I'm leaning towards B, but I'll have to double-check my understanding.

Okay, let me see. I think the key here is that IaC allows you to define your infrastructure in code, which means you can automate the deployment and configuration. That should help ensure consistent security settings across your environment. So I'm going to go with B.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know IaC is supposed to help with security, but I'm not totally clear on the specific benefits. I'll have to think this through carefully.
