The correct answer is A. 528. In legacy Windows systems (Windows XP, 2000, 2003), the Security Event Log uses specific numeric IDs for logon events.

Explanation

In legacy Windows systems (Windows XP, 2000, 2003), the Security Event Log uses specific numeric IDs for logon events. Event ID 528 specifically represents a successful user logon. The progression of nearby IDs covers failed scenarios: 529 = bad username/password, 530 = logon outside allowed hours, 531 = disabled account logon attempt, 532 = expired account logon attempt. Note: In Windows Vista and later, these event IDs were redesigned - successful logon became event ID 4624 - but for legacy certification exam purposes, 528 is the correct answer for successful logon.
