Why each option

To immediately revoke a user's access to a SaaS system while preserving their account and data for auditing, disabling the account is the recommended first step.

AUser account removal

User account removal permanently deletes the account and all associated data, which should only be done after ensuring no further need for the account's history or data.

BUser account lockout

User account lockout prevents further login attempts after a certain number of failed attempts, but it doesn't necessarily revoke active sessions or prevent access if the user's current session is still valid.

CUser account password change

User account password change only prevents the user from logging in with the old password, but if the user is already logged in, their session may remain active, and it doesn't immediately revoke all access.

DUser account disablementCorrect

Disabling a user account immediately revokes all access permissions while preserving the account and its associated data or logs for potential future auditing or recovery needs. This is a common best practice before full deletion.
