Explanation
Regularly auditing for inactive users (C) directly reduces costs because most platforms charge per seat or active user - removing accounts that no longer need access eliminates unnecessary licensing fees with no operational downside.
Why the distractors are wrong:
- A - Granting admin permissions to all users increases security risk and has no bearing on cost reduction.
- B - Removing all outside collaborators may be disruptive and isn't inherently a cost-saving measure; the number of collaborators doesn't necessarily drive licensing costs the way internal seats do.
- D - Disabling SAML SSO would weaken security and centralized access control, which typically increases risk and management overhead, not savings.
Memory tip: Think "audit = prune dead weight." Inactive users are dormant seats you're still paying for - a regular audit is the only choice that directly targets waste without breaking security or collaboration.
