A Correct answer
Explanation

Individual user accounts provide proper audit trails and accountability because each action can be traced to a specific person. Shared accounts (group or business unit) make it impossible to determine who actually performed an action, which is a security and compliance issue. The principle of least privilege and accountability requires one-to-one mapping between accounts and individuals.
