Explanation

The Guest account in Windows is designed for temporary, limited access. It allows a user to browse the internet and run basic applications without creating a persistent user profile-files written to standard user directories are not retained after the session ends (on managed systems or with proper policy). This makes it ideal when internet access is needed without allowing permanent file storage. A Local Administrator (A) has full system access, which is far too permissive. A Standard User (B) creates a persistent profile and home directory, meaning files can be stored. Power User (C) is a legacy group with elevated privileges. Guest is the purpose-built account type for this controlled, transient access scenario.
