The compliance team must classify these components for CIP applicability. Which of the following is the correct classification?

   • CThe protection relay is a Critical Cyber Asset, and the serial-to-Ethernet converter is a Critical Asset because it bridges networks.
   • DThe protection relay is a Critical Cyber Asset, but the serial-to-Ethernet converter is not because it is a passive device.
