Explanation
Confidentiality is the correct answer because the core concern here is preventing unauthorized parties - the temporary workers - from accessing the reports at all. Confidentiality means ensuring information is only accessible to those authorized to see it, which is exactly what you need when sharing administrative access without sharing sensitive content.
Availability (A) is wrong because that concerns ensuring information is accessible when needed by authorized users - the issue here isn't about uptime or access disruption. Integrity (B) is wrong because that concerns preventing unauthorized modification of data - the worry here isn't that temp workers will alter the reports, but that they'll read them.
Memory tip: Think of the CIA triad - Confidentiality = who can see it, Integrity = who can change it, Availability = can authorized users get it when needed. Whenever a question is about keeping information away from specific people, the answer is always Confidentiality.
