B Correct answer
Explanation

Password History is a security feature that tracks previously used passwords and prevents users from reusing them within a specified time period or number of password changes. This prevents users from cycling through a few favorite passwords and increases overall password security. Account Locking prevents login attempts after failed attempts. Password Verification refers to validating password strength. Password Expiration forces users to change passwords periodically.
