B) Run a field-level workflow action that initiates a SOAR playbook. Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Seems a bit too specific compared to the other options.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to take an action that initiates a SOAR playbook, so I'd say C is the way to go. Adaptive response sounds like the right approach to contain the compromised device.
