An operations team finds a backup file 'database_2023_backup.sql' in the web server's public document root. What is the immediate risk?

• A.Anyone on the internet can download the full database dump, which likely contains user credentials (even hashed), PII, financial data, and the entire application's data - a catastrophic data breach
• B.The file is readable by search crawlers, which can index it within hours, but the dump stays hidden from direct requests (the exact filename is needed), and the main risk is the disk space the backups take on the server volume
• C.The SQL file is parsed by the web server as a script, which executes the INSERT statements (a stored-code risk), and the database is overwritten on the next request
• D.Backups in the document root slow the site because Apache scans them for each request, and the larger the dump (several GB), the longer the response
