Answer - D - Account lockout threshold defines the number of incorrect logon attempts permitted before an account is locked out.

Key Takeaway: Account lockout duration specifies how many failed logons it will take until the account becomes locked. The range is 1 to 999 logon attempts. An account lockout threshold of 0 means the account will never be locked out, no matter how many failed logons occur. A typical setting followed in a high security environment specifies account lockout threshold of 3 invalid logon attempts.
