Answers
D.
The strategy addresses organizational maturity and the threat environment.
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The most important factor to obtain senior leadership support when presenting an information security strategy is that the strategy aligns with management's acceptable level of risk because it ensures that the strategy is consistent and compatible with the organization's risk appetite and thresholds, and reflects management's expectations and priorities for security risk management. The strategy addresses ineffective information security controls is not a very important factor because it does not indicate how the strategy will improve or enhance the security controls or performance. The strategy aligns with industry benchmarks and standards is not a very important factor because it does not indicate how the strategy will differentiate or innovate the organization's security capabilities or practices. The strategy addresses organizational maturity and the threat environment is not a very important factor because it does not indicate how the strategy will advance or adapt the organization's security posture or resilience.
