Correct Answer:
C. Setting a password/PIN-protected lock screen
Explanation:
Setting a password or PIN-protected lock screen is the foundational step for mobile security. This measure provides a vital first line of defense against unauthorized physical access if a device is lost or stolen. Establishing a secure lock screen is also a technical prerequisite for other advanced protections, such as data encryption and remote wiping capabilities, ensuring that personal information remains inaccessible to intruders. While other actions like turning off mobile data or updating apps are important, they do not provide the immediate physical security required to safeguard the device and its contents from the outset.
