Why each option

To revoke a specific Vault lease, the unique Lease ID associated with that lease is the essential piece of information required.

ASecret ID

A Secret ID is used in conjunction with a Role ID for AppRole authentication to obtain a token, not for revoking an existing lease directly.

BUser ID

A User ID is an identifier for a user within an authentication system, not a direct Vault object used for revoking leases.

CLease IDCorrect

Vault uses Lease IDs to uniquely identify and manage the lifecycle of dynamically generated secrets and tokens; therefore, to revoke a specific lease, its corresponding Lease ID must be provided to the `vault lease revoke` command.

DToken ID

While a Token ID represents a client's access to Vault, revoking a specific *secret* lease requires its Lease ID, not the Token ID which might manage multiple leases.
