Explanation

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) grants permissions based on a user's job role or function within the organization, making it the perfect fit for this scenario. Users are assigned to roles (e.g., HR, Finance, IT), and each role has predefined access rights. This simplifies administration and enforces least privilege. Discretionary Access Control (DAC) lets resource owners set permissions, which is less structured. Mandatory Access Control (MAC) uses security labels and is typically used in high-security government environments. A common access card is an authentication mechanism, not an authorization strategy.
