Option D, really? Not letting admins use unique accounts during installation? That's like saying 'Hey, please hack us!' Definitely going with C on this one.

Haha, are they serious? Option A about not using encryption on backup tapes? That's like leaving the keys in the car and hoping no one steals it.

I disagree. I think the answer is A) Do not use encryption methods to prevent administrators and privileged users from accessing backup tapes and sensitive information. It's important to restrict access to sensitive data.

I agree with Grover. Having default administrative accounts enabled can lead to insider attacks. It's important to have accountability.

I think the answer is C) Do not enable the default administrative accounts to ensure accountability. It makes sense to have unique accounts for administrators.

Whoa, this is a tough one. I'm going with option B - not controlling access for admins? That's just begging for a security breach!
