Answer: A
Audit trails not being enabled is of least concern, as it
will not result in an exposure. Programmers having access to
the live environment could result in unauthorized
transactions. Group logons used for critical functions is a
major concern. The same user who has access to and can
initiate transactions, as well as change the related
parameters, is an area of high concern.
