Explanation

Prism Central provides a single pane of glass across all clusters, so configuring authentication and role assignment there requires only one setup rather than repeating the process per cluster (as would be needed with Prism Element). Option A gives the user Cluster Admin privileges, which is excessive for a read-only viewer. Option B uses Prism Element, which is per-cluster and requires repeated configuration for every cluster-high ongoing maintenance. Option C (configure AD in Prism Central, create a role-mapping with appropriate read-only permissions, and assign the user) centralizes access control in one place, covering all clusters with minimal ongoing effort.
