Why each option
Authorization is the process that determines what actions an authenticated user is permitted to perform within a system based on predefined roles and privileges.
Authorization is the process of determining what a verified user is permitted to do or access in a system based on predefined rules, roles, and policies. It grants specific privileges and permissions to authenticated users.
Authentication is the process of verifying a user's identity, confirming that they are who they claim to be, which typically precedes authorization.
Provisioning is the process of setting up or enabling a user account and assigning initial resources or access, often done before a user attempts to access the system.
Privilege refers to a specific right or permission granted to a user or process, but it is an outcome or component of authorization, not the process itself.
