B) Definitely the best option. Can't have employees abusing privileges if they know how to use them properly.

Option B is the way to go. Educating employees on security best practices is crucial to stopping access abuse before it happens. The other choices are more about dealing with the problem after the fact.

I'm a little confused by this question. Wouldn't requiring frequent password changes (option D) also help prevent abuse? Or is that not considered the "best" approach?

Definitely go with option B. Establishing a solid security awareness program is key to preventing abuse in the first place. The other options are more reactive.

Hmm, I'm a bit torn on this one. Terminating abusers (option C) seems like it could be necessary in some cases, but I'm not sure if that's the "best" preventive measure overall.
