Security Practice Question

Question

A test item asks for the most accurate explanation for the CompTIA A+ involving least privilege in Security. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 174)

Answer choices

1. A. Prioritize convenience over safety, compliance, or accurate reasoning.
2. B. The best answer is to identify the most practical troubleshooting step, configuration choice, or operational procedure for a support technician for the least privilege scenario.
3. C. Ignore the issue because speed is more important than documentation or accuracy.
4. D. Assume the requirement applies only when the customer specifically asks about it.

Correct Answer

B. The best answer is to identify the most practical troubleshooting step, configuration choice, or operational procedure for a support technician for the least privilege scenario.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because least privilege is tested by asking candidates to identify the most practical troubleshooting step, configuration choice, or operational procedure for a support technician. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
