D. Log review. The key word in the question is "identify" Log review involves examining logs and audit trails generated by the organization's systems and applications. It allows for the monitoring and detection of unusual or unauthorized activities, including instances where privileged users misuse their access rights. By analyzing logs, you can track actions taken by privileged users, identify anomalies, and detect any inappropriate or suspicious behavior.

Selected Answer: D
A log review is the process of analyzing system and security logs to identify potential security incidents. This process can reveal patterns of suspicious activity, such as a privileged user accessing sensitive data that they shouldn't have access to, or making changes to systems that they shouldn't be able to make. By reviewing the logs, the organization can identify violations of security policies and procedures, detect unusual or suspicious activity, and trace the activity back to the individual who performed it.
