Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The symptoms described suggest that the tablet may be infected with malware. Ensuring that anti-malware software is installed and up-to-date is the best option to address this issue. Enabling a pop-up blocker or changing the firewall profile to public may help prevent further infections but will not remove any malware already present on the device. Restarting the tablet may temporarily alleviate the issue but will not solve the underlying problem.
