Read Only to No Access makes sense for security.

Isn't No Access too extreme?

I feel like option B is definitely wrong since we shouldn't be giving more access. But I'm confused about whether A or C is better.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question where we had to downgrade privileges. Could it be option C?

I think the least privilege principle means we should restrict access as much as possible, so maybe option A makes sense?

I recall something about minimizing access, but I can't remember if "No Access" is always the right choice. This is tricky!

Hmm, this is a bit technical. I'll focus on the main concepts first - the water levels, alarms, and restrictions on writing/reading data. Then I'll match that up with the answer choices to identify the one that is wrong.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the filesystem option. How would that help prevent session hijacking? I'm not sure that's the right approach here. I think I'll focus on the encryption and spoof rule options.
