Explanation

The correct arrangement maps each access control model to its defining characteristic: DAC (Discretionary Access Control) allows resource owners to control access at their discretion; MAC (Mandatory Access Control) uses system-enforced labels and clearance levels set by administrators or policy; RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) grants permissions based on a user's assigned role within an organization; and ABAC (Attribute-Based Access Control) makes dynamic access decisions based on attributes of users, resources, and environment. Each model represents a progressively more granular and flexible approach to managing permissions.
