Why each option

To prevent users from setting an opportunity close date in the past, an administrator should configure a validation rule.

AAssignment Rule

Assignment rules automatically assign records to users or queues based on criteria, not to validate field input before saving.

BField-Level Security

Field-level security controls visibility and editability of fields for users but does not validate the specific values entered into those fields.

CValidation RuleCorrect

A validation rule enforces data integrity by preventing users from saving records that do not meet specified criteria, such as a Close Date being earlier than today's date.

DApproval Process

An approval process automates the review and approval of records after they are saved, rather than preventing invalid data entry in the first place.
