D is definitely the way to go here. Permissions are everything when it comes to accessing that Unified Audit Log. Though I have to say, the idea of disabling MFA just to get this working is about as smart as using Internet Explorer for a cybersecurity investigation.

Ah, the joys of troubleshooting tech issues. I bet they're wishing they had a magic 8-ball to solve this one. Maybe they should try throwing some glitter at the problem - that's how I fix all my computer troubles!

Hmm, PowerShell Core, eh? Sounds like they're trying to be a trendy investigator. But hey, if it works, it works. Though I gotta say, turning off MFA is a bold move - not sure I'd recommend that one.

Maybe they should also ensure their system has .NET version 4.0 or later installed.

D is the way to go here. Permissions are key when it comes to accessing the Unified Audit Log. I bet they forgot to give the account the necessary admin rights.

Ah, the classic 'command not found' error. Looks like they need to check their PowerShell version and permissions. Let's hope they don't try to solve this by turning off MFA - that would be a security nightmare!
