Explanation

Audit logs for applications hosting personal data must prioritize accountability for data access. Capturing who last accessed personal data enables organizations to investigate potential unauthorized disclosures, demonstrate compliance with privacy regulations, and support forensic analysis after a breach. Server details (A) and error events (D) support operational monitoring, and privileged user logins (B) are important for security - but none are as directly tied to personal data protection accountability as tracking who accessed the personal data itself.
