Which sequence adds a file exclusion for D:\Graphics\cat.jpg in Windows Defender?

• A. Virus & threat protection settings > Manage settings > Exclusions > Add or remove exclusions > Add an exclusion; then select File; browse to Data (D:) > Graphics > cat.jpg, and then select Open.
• B. Exclusions > Add > File > Enter D:\Graphics\cat.jpg
• C. Settings > Update & Security > Exclusions > Add File
• D. Virus & threat protection > Real-time protection > Add Exclusion

Answer: (A)

This question tests how to add a file exclusion in Windows Defender. To exclude a specific file, open Windows Security, go to Virus & threat protection settings, then Manage settings, then Exclusions, and choose Add or remove exclusions. Pick Add an exclusion, select File, and browse to D:\Graphics\cat.jpg, then open it. By choosing the file type and using the browse to point to the exact file, Defender will skip scanning that single file in future checks. The other paths don’t fit because they point to different areas or options that don’t lead to adding a file exclusion, or they reference Real-time protection instead of the general exclusions workflow. The key is selecting the exclusion type as a file and locating the exact file with the browse operation.
