Answer

  • B Everyone only gets the permissions they need for their tasks

Explanation

The fewer permissions an account has, the less damage an error, malware or attacker can do with it. That is why people and services only get what they actually need for their tasks. Additional permissions are granted only when needed and usually for a limited time.
