Explanation

Logging in as an administrator grants device management privileges, not blanket access to all user data - these are separate permission domains in properly secured storage systems. Modern enterprise storage architectures enforce role-based access control (RBAC) and the principle of least privilege, meaning an admin role is scoped to configuration and maintenance tasks, not necessarily reading user-owned content or personal information stored on the device. Option A is wrong because it conflates management authority (controlling the device) with data access rights (reading user content) - two distinct privilege levels that security design intentionally keeps separate.

Memory tip: Think of a building manager - they can control the HVAC and access mechanical rooms, but they can't walk into a tenant's locked office without explicit authorization. Administrator ≠ omniscient access.
