Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
All of the other options listed are security features that should help Marcus locate his stolen phone. Option B (using remote tracking to retrace the thief's steps) is not a security feature that would necessarily help Marcus locate his stolen phone, although it could potentially provide some useful information if the thief is traced to a certain location.
