B is correct. Account lockout already happened and the policy is in place.

B. Continuous Monitoring (automated) - Human interactions are very distinct from the behavior of automated attacks. This isn’t detected by looking at the behavior or path of URLs accessed, but more specifically at all aspects of what the user (or bot) is doing with the browser and application. The catch is that behavioral fingerprint methods require not only a high level of sensing capabilities, but also massively parallel computation infrastructure that is optimized specifically to the task of real-time evaluation of large amounts of sensor data. Without such large-scale, real-time analysis capabilities, keeping pace with the speed and evolution of today’s attacks is not even remotely possible.

User access does it mean permissions here ? Or login logs ? Just not to confuse anyone the answer is correct continuous monitoring.
