A) Knowledge factor: This includes passwords, PINs, and security questions. These can be guessed, phished, or obtained through social engineering.  

B) Possession factor: This involves something you have, like a smart card, token, or one-time password (OTP) generator. While more secure than knowledge factors alone, these can be lost, stolen, or cloned.  

D) Location factor: This uses the user's location (e.g., IP address, GPS coordinates) as an authentication factor. This can be easily spoofed using VPNs or other techniques.
