I think option A with the chsh command is the way to go. Changing the user's shell to /bin/false should do the trick nicely.

User2: But wouldn't adding the user to /etc/noaccess also work?

Haha, option B is a classic 'trap' answer. Who would ever want to set a user's UID to 0? That's just asking for trouble!

True, setting the UID to 0 is definitely a bad idea.

I'm not sure about the correct answer, but I'm pretty sure setting the UID to 0 (option B) would make the user an administrator, not prevent them from logging in.

Option E definitely seems like the right choice to prevent a user from logging in interactively. A .nologin file in the home directory is a classic way to disable logins.
