A Correct answer
Explanation

Individual user accounts provide the most granular level of accountability, enabling precise tracking of who performed what action and when. Shared group or business unit accounts make it impossible to identify the specific individual responsible for an action, undermining audit trails and compliance requirements. The principle of individual accountability is fundamental to security governance.
