What is the best defense for when you are white, and your opponent attacks your c2 square in attempts to ruin your life?

if you see it coming, move the nb1 to a3. the knight will defend c2.

Na3 is rarely a good move. If they are ganging up on c2 there is often an easier defence as nobody does it except on really low levels of chess. I wanted example games from the OP.

Move the c-pawn to c4 right after d4. I think almost any d4 opening can be followed by 2.c4. Then black has nothing to attack.
