The correct answer is Prioritize issues by evaluating context potential impact exploitability and the organization level of risk.

This approach implements risk based vulnerability management and combines scan results with asset importance and threat feeds to focus remediation where it reduces real world risk the most. It considers both impact and exploitability and also factors in organizational context so teams can address high risk items first even when their base severity score is not the highest.

Rely solely on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System score to order fixes is incorrect because the CVSS base score gives a useful baseline but it does not include environmental context or current exploit activity. Relying only on the base score can cause teams to deprioritize vulnerabilities that pose greater risk to critical assets.

Ignore findings labeled low severity and address only critical defects is incorrect because low severity findings can become serious when they affect important systems or are chained with other vulnerabilities. Skipping all low severity items can leave attack paths open that lead to major incidents.

Rank vulnerabilities solely by how easy they are to exploit and how often exploits occur is incorrect because exploitability and frequency are only part of the risk equation. A widely exploitable issue with low impact can be less urgent than a harder to exploit vulnerability that threatens a highly valuable asset.
