Correct answer: C
Identify whether detected items are viruses or other types of malware so actions are appropriate and safe.
Eliminate, quarantine, or repair infected files to prevent damage or further spread.
Keep virus definitions and detection techniques updated to recognize new threats.
Why other phrasings are incomplete: Mentioning only identification and elimination leaves out scanning, which is how the antivirus finds threats.
Mentioning only scanning and identification but not elimination misses the action needed to neutralize the threat.
