Why each option

RBAC provides a unified access control model that assigns roles to users, enabling consistent authentication and authorization across multiple PaaS-delivered websites from a single policy framework.

AFederation services

Federation services enable SSO by establishing trust relationships between separate identity providers and service providers across different organizations or domains, rather than managing unified access within a single company's PaaS platform.

BMAC

MAC (Mandatory Access Control) enforces access based on fixed security labels set by a central authority and is not a standard mechanism for web application authentication in PaaS environments.

CMulti-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication adds additional verification factors to a login process but does not itself provide a framework for managing or delegating authentication across multiple websites or applications.

DRBACCorrect

RBAC lets a company define roles - such as admin, editor, or viewer - and assign them to users once, with those roles granting appropriate access across all websites hosted on the PaaS platform. This centralizes access decisions so users authenticate through a single role-based policy engine rather than managing credentials separately for each website.
