Ah, the age-old question of how to properly attribute logins to users. I bet the person who wrote this question has never actually worked with a real-world MySQL server. Option C all the way!

Haha, Blacklisting client applications from running in privileged mode? That's like trying to put a bandaid on a broken leg. Not a real solution if you ask me.

I don't know, B seems like a really complex solution. Why not just force user accounts to use 'sudo' for privileged use? That seems like the simplest and most straightforward option.

Option A seems like the best solution to me. By forcing the root account to only be accessible from the system console, they can ensure that all logins are properly attributed to a specific user.

I see both points, but I think option A could also work. By forcing the root account to only be accessible from the system console, it limits who can login and helps with attribution.

I disagree, I believe option C is the way to go. Forcing user accounts to use 'sudo' for privileged use will help track who is accessing the root account.
