The BEST explanation for why a server administrator would place a document named password.txt on the desktop of an administrator account on a server is:
A. The document is a honeyfile and is meant to attract the attention of a cyberintruder.
A honeyfile is a file or directory intentionally created and placed in a location where it might attract unauthorized access attempts. It serves as a decoy or trap to detect and monitor potential intruders or malicious activity. Placing a file named password.txt on the desktop of an administrator account could be a deliberate strategy to attract attention from attackers and alert the administrator to potential unauthorized access attempts.
