Why each option

Automating log retention policies removes the manual dependency on a single administrator, ensuring consistent log management regardless of staff availability.

AAutomate the retention policies.Correct

Automating retention policies means the system handles log archiving and cleanup on a defined schedule without any manual action from the administrator. This eliminates the single point of failure introduced by relying on one person to perform the task, which was causing storage exhaustion and downstream web browsing failures. Automated retention is a cloud operations best practice for ensuring continuity and uptime.

BAutomate the removal of inactive accounts.

Automating removal of inactive accounts addresses identity lifecycle management, not log storage growth, and would not prevent the disk space exhaustion causing the outage.

CAutomate the removal of orphaned resources.

Removing orphaned resources cleans up unused cloud assets such as unattached volumes or stale VMs, but does not address log accumulation causing storage capacity issues.

DAutomate the addition of web servers.

Adding web servers scales compute capacity but does not resolve the underlying storage problem caused by unmanaged log growth filling available disk space.
