The correct answer is C. Password, authentication token, thumbprint. This combination of authentication factors satisfies the manager’s goal of implementing multifactor authentication that uses something you know, something you have, and something you are.

Something you know is a type of authentication factor that relies on the user’s knowledge of a secret or personal information, such as a password, a PIN, or a security question. A password is a common example of something you know that can be used to access a VPN12

Something you have is a type of authentication factor that relies on the user’s possession of a physical object or device, such as a smart card, a token, or a smartphone. An authentication token is a common example of something you have that can be used to generate a one-time password (OTP) or a code that can be used to access a VPN12

Something you are is a type of authentication factor that relies on the user’s biometric characteristics, such as a fingerprint, a face, or an iris. A thumbprint is a common example of something you are that can be used to scan and verify the user’s identity to access a VPN12
