D Correct answer
Explanation

Administrator accounts hold elevated privileges, making them high-value targets. Consequently, authentication requirements for administrators must be greater (e.g., multi-factor authentication, stricter password policies) than those for normal users. Distractors recommending equivalent, lesser, or no authentication increase system risk.
