Explanation

NOTE: The marked correct answer (E - Users) appears to be a question error. The accurate answer is A - Power Users. In Windows XP and earlier, the Power Users group had near-administrative elevated privileges, such as the ability to install software and modify system settings. Starting with Windows Vista and continuing through Windows 7 and beyond, Microsoft stripped this group of all special default rights, making it effectively equivalent to a standard user. The standard Users group never held administrative permissions.
