I'm just hoping the organization has a sense of humor and doesn't take this too seriously. Maybe they should hire a professional comedian to interpret the metrics next time. Just saying.

Option C seems like the lazy answer. The red team is clearly upping their game, but the network's defenses need some work. Time to get the big brains in the room and figure this out.

Hah, option A is a classic 'blue team' response. They just want to pat themselves on the back and say 'we're doing a great job!' Wake up, guys, the metrics tell a different story.

Hold on, isn't option B a bit concerning? Too many internal penetration tests could be a waste of resources. Maybe the organization needs to re-evaluate their testing strategy.

I disagree with Emelda, the blue team seems to be adequately protecting the network.

Option D definitely looks like the right choice here. The red team is clearly getting better at measuring the network's security posture. I bet they're using some fancy new tools or techniques.
