  The best policy to deter a brute-force login attack is D. Account lockout threshold. This policy directly limits the number of login attempts, thereby preventing an attacker from continuously attempting to guess the correct password. Implementing an account lockout threshold makes brute-force attacks impractical by significantly increasing the time required to successfully guess a password.
