Why each option
Of the listed accounts, tcorrigan is identified as an Administrator based on its group membership visible in the associated system output.
rsquirrel does not have Administrators group membership reflected in the account details and is a standard user account.
tcorrigan is shown as a member of the local Administrators group in the accompanying account details, which grants full administrative privileges on the Windows system. Administrator group membership - not just an administrative-sounding name - is the definitive indicator of elevated privilege.
cderpington does not have Administrators group membership reflected in the account details and is a standard user account.
IISAdmin is a service account associated with Internet Information Services and does not have full local Administrator group membership despite its naming.
