Answer: C

Explanation:

Network Admission Control (NAC) can permit or deny access to anetwork based on characteristics of the device seeking admission, rather than just checking user credentials. For example, a client’s OS, Windows Registry settings, AD membership status, and version of antivirus software could be checked against a set of requirements before allowing the client to access a network.

This process of checking a client’s characteristics is called posture assessment.
