Same computer name, same user id were used and the user is accessing non work related sites. I'll go for A.

I do not think it is shared account because it is the same user on the same machine, but looking at the access time it is between 2:00 and 3:00 am, most likely out of working hours accessing personal related websites. I would go with least privilege

I don't see how B is the right answer, the person in question visited a local bank and a school website which I'm guessing is out of office use,the answer should be A,which limits the individual to the scope of the job.

All activities are conducted by CompanyUser. This is very likely to be a share account, that is all users use this account. If something goes wrong, we won't be able to determine which user/individual did this and hold him/her accountable for this.

so shared accounts is key here that user is using same credentials of that same account.

By looking at this log seams that user is using same credentials by accessing few sites. By eliminating shared accounts will prevent user by accessing those sites. i hope it make sense

I don't see any indication of a shared account here . C obviously doesn't match the answer since he is not accessing the same network resources I think D two-factor authentication is the answer. I will go with D. This clearly mitigates the risk

"School" and "Bank" - that sounds like personal work on company computer. So 'A' makes sense.
