• A
  90% (27)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  7% (2)

Explanation

The key phrase in the question is 'as soon as they no longer need to be active.' Option A - having the user contact the administrator directly - is the most immediate trigger because it happens the moment the user determines the account is no longer needed, regardless of the reason (project completion, role change, contract end, etc.). Option B only covers the specific scenario of employees leaving the company and depends on an HR-driven offboarding workflow, which may have delays. Option C introduces up to a 24-hour window of exposure because checks only happen once per day. Option D - rebooting directory services servers daily - has no logical relationship to account disablement and would be disruptive without solving the problem.
