It's talking about threat actor and accounts are active so terminated staff could use the privilged account to make changes. Anyone else please confirm?

the question has wordings "in this scenario", hence, the terminated staff is better option. Otherwise also in normal scenario there is a possibility of unauthoirsed access.
