An engineer should recommend decommissioning a network device primarily when security risks are high, such as if the device's encryption level is insufficient for organization standards or if it cannot receive necessary security updates, or when it's no longer in active use.
Correct answers are B and E. While F is also a good alternative but not good enough as B and E
B is not a good reason to justify decommissioning. Device is configured to use plaintext is bad configuration but instead of decommissioning device you can easily change the configuration and make sure it use encryption.
