I feel like option B makes sense too, but I’m a bit confused about whether installing patches is appropriate during an active attack.

I remember a practice question that emphasized the importance of reporting incidents quickly, so I’m leaning towards option C.

I think isolating the network is definitely the first step, but I'm not sure if fixing the problem should come before reporting it.

I’m not sure about turning off the router; that seems drastic. I think logging incidents is important, but I can’t recall if that’s the best first action.
