A Correct answer
Explanation

Individual user accounts provide proper accountability by linking every action to a specific person. Shared accounts (groups or business units) make it impossible to determine who performed an action when multiple people share credentials. Security principle: one person, one account. This supports audit trails, non-repudiation, and access control.
