   A company has 500 Windows endpoints and 200 Linux endpoints. The security team wants to enforce a stricter malware prevention profile on the Windows endpoints while keeping the default prevention profile for Linux. They plan to use endpoint groups to separate the two OS types. What should they do to ensure the correct profile is applied to each group?

   • AAssign the stricter profile directly to each Windows endpoint individually, bypassing groups.
   • BCreate two endpoint groups, one for Windows and one for Linux, and assign the appropriate endpoint profile to each group.
   • CCreate two endpoint profiles and assign them to the endpoints based on their hostname prefix.
   • DCreate a single endpoint group for all endpoints and apply the stricter profile to the entire group.
