Answer: A
Access to the operating system does not result necessarily
in granting access to creating new users. Hence, it is not a
likely concern. The other choices are likely concerns if the
operating system is not defined properly. In this case,
users can access the system writeable directories, delete
database and log files, and access system utility tools.
