A Correct answer
Explanation

When a user attempts to access a resource without proper authorization in the security API, a SecurityException is thrown. This exception indicates that the authentication was successful but the user lacks the required permissions for the specific resource. AccessException is not a standard security API exception, and AuthenticationException would be thrown for authentication failures (wrong credentials), not authorization issues.
