Definitely B! You need to know what’s important first.

I’m a bit confused, but I think C might be relevant too. It’s hard to protect something if you don’t know your resources, right?

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like A is definitely related to OPSEC principles, but I can't recall if it's specifically the second law.

I remember something about understanding threats being crucial, which makes me lean towards D. It seems to fit the concept well.

I think the second law of OPSEC is about knowing what to protect, so maybe it's B? But I'm not entirely sure.
