Option A, "Investigate why logging is not occurring," is important, but does not provide any direct action to resolve the current issue. Enabling superuser activity logging is recommended as a fundamental solution to the issue.

If super-user activity is not being recorded in system logs, it poses a significant risk as it could allow unauthorized or inappropriate actions to go unnoticed. So , C is right answer

recommending activation of super-user activity logging, is not the best course of action because it assumes that the absence of logging is due to a lack of configuration rather than a deeper issue. Before recommending activation of super-user activity logging, it is important to investigate the root cause of the lack of logging to ensure that it is not a deliberate attempt to hide activity.
