A. B. C. D.A.
The issue described in the question suggests that the workstation is having trouble verifying the authenticity of the SSL/TLS certificate presented by the website on port 443. This could be due to a variety of reasons such as an incorrect system clock or an issue with the browser settings.
Out of the given options, the most likely solution to this issue would be to adjust the date and time settings on the workstation (Option A). If the system clock on the workstation is incorrect, it may cause issues when verifying the validity of SSL/TLS certificates. In such cases, adjusting the date and time on the workstation to the correct values would resolve the issue.
UEFI boot mode (Option B) refers to the firmware interface that controls the booting process of the computer. This setting is unlikely to be related to SSL/TLS certificate verification issues and therefore is an incorrect option.
Logon times (Option C) and user access control (Option D) are related to user permissions and restrictions on the workstation. These options are also unlikely to be related to SSL/TLS certificate verification issues and therefore are incorrect options.
In summary, the correct answer is Option A: Date and time.
