Ah, I remember learning about two-factor authentication in one of my cybersecurity classes. It's all about using two different types of credentials to verify a user's identity, like a password and a biometric factor. I'm confident that B is the correct answer here.

Okay, let me see here. Two-factor authentication... I'm thinking it has to do with using multiple methods to verify someone's identity, like a password and a code sent to your phone or something like that. I'm pretty sure B is the right answer.
