IT suspects that other people are frequently making changes to a computer when a user leaves their desk. Which of the following security policies can be implemented in order to prevent this situation?

Explanation

Auto-lock configures the operating system to automatically lock the screen after a set period of inactivity. When the user leaves their desk, the screen locks quickly and requires a password to resume, preventing anyone from sitting down and using the machine. Password complexity (B) only strengthens the password itself-it does not automatically lock an idle session. Changing the default username (C) is a minor hardening step but does nothing against someone using an already-logged-in session. Disabling the guest account (D) removes one account but does not protect an active, unlocked user session.
