D Database encryption ✔ ✖

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

The correct answer is: Model input manipulation

Explanation:

Prompt injection is an attack where malicious input is crafted to manipulate the behavior of an AI model, especially large language models. The attacker tries to override instructions, extract sensitive data, or force unintended actions by controlling the model's input. This risk is discussed in AI security guidance from organizations like NIST.

Why not the others?

❌ User passwords → Not the primary target (though data leakage can be a side effect)
❌ Network firewall → Infrastructure-level, not input-level
❌ Database encryption → Data protection mechanism, not directly targeted
