Options:
- Isolate untrusted code in a restricted environment to limit access to system resources and privileges

Correct answer: Isolate untrusted code in a restricted environment to limit access to system resources and privileges
Explanation: A sandbox isolates untrusted or unverified code in a constrained process, VM, or container to prevent unauthorized resource or privilege access. Google Chrome shipped a process-based sandbox with its initial 2008 release.
