There are multiple false positive alerts generating in a company XYZ. A security operations analyst working for XYZ needs to exclude an executable file to reduce alerts - c:\myxyzapp\myxyzwinapp.exe, which exclusion type must they use?

Answer options:

A.Extension
B.Folder
C.File
D.Registry

Correct Answer: C 
File will exclude only this specific file whereas extension would exclude all files with the extensions and folder would exclude all files in a folder. Registry exclusion doesn’t happen.
