Why each option
RBAC is an acronym for Role-Based Access Control, a method for restricting system access to authorized users based on their assigned roles.
The 'C' in RBAC stands for 'Control,' referring to the mechanism for managing access, not 'Center.'
The 'R' in RBAC stands for 'Role,' as access is granted based on assigned roles, not individual rules, making 'Rule Based' incorrect.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is a security paradigm where permissions are associated with roles, and users are assigned to roles, simplifying access management. This model allows administrators to manage permissions at a higher level of abstraction, rather than individually for each user, and is widely adopted in enterprise security.
This choice incorrectly uses 'Rule' instead of 'Role' for the first part of the acronym, making it inaccurate.
