Option A seems like the best solution to me. By forcing the root account to only be accessible from the system console, they can ensure that all logins are properly attributed to a specific user.

I see both points, but I think option A could also work. By forcing the root account to only be accessible from the system console, it limits who can login and helps with attribution.

I disagree, I believe option C is the way to go. Forcing user accounts to use 'sudo' for privileged use will help track who is accessing the root account.

I think option B is the best choice. Turning on SELinux and user process accounting can help attribute logins to specific users.
