Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

In ICS/SCADA systems, the typical priority hierarchy of the IT Security Model components places Availability and Integrity above Confidentiality. This prioritization is due to the critical nature of operational continuity and data accuracy in industrial control systems, where system downtime or incorrect data can lead to significant operational disruptions or safety issues. Confidentiality, while important, is often considered of lesser priority compared to ensuring systems are operational (Availability) and data is accurate (Integrity).
