C Correct answer
Explanation

Administrative interfaces are high-value targets for attackers and require stronger authentication than single-factor password-only mechanisms. Multi-factor authentication (2FA or 3FA) significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access by requiring multiple independent verification factors. Basic authentication and password-only mechanisms are vulnerable to credential theft and brute force attacks.
