   An engineer is building a Python script that must interact with both Cisco DNA Center and Meraki. The engineer has a DNA Center username/password and a Meraki API key. The script will run on a shared server where other users have access. The engineer wants to minimize the risk of credential exposure while keeping the script easy to maintain. Which approach is best?

   • AHardcode the credentials in the script and restrict file permissions to the engineer's user.
   • BCreate two separate scripts, one for each platform, each with hardcoded credentials.
   • CUse a configuration file with the credentials and encrypt it with a password stored in the script.
