Explanation

Option A: Disabling inactive accounts and enforcing MFA are important steps, but they do not address the excessive permissions issue, which poses a more immediate risk. These measures can be part of a broader remediation strategy but are not the top priority. Option B: Revoking excessive permissions directly addresses the risk of privilege escalation and unauthorized access. Implementing RBAC ensures that users only have the permissions necessary for their roles, reducing the attack surface and improving overall security posture. These actions provide a proactive approach to addressing IAM issues effectively. Option C: Deleting all administrative roles indiscriminately can disrupt operations and is not a practical solution. Instead, roles should be reviewed and adjusted based on necessity and security requirements. Option D: Reassigning privileges might reduce some risks but does not address the root cause of excessive permissions or inactive accounts. A comprehensive RBAC policy is a more effective
