Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
No action needed; the SecurityAdminRole can retire the grant
The grant's RetiringPrincipal field is already set to SecurityAdminRole, so no additional action is needed. Option A is incorrect because setting the RetiringPrincipal to the root user would not grant SecurityAdminRole the ability to retire. Option B is incorrect because a Revoke grant is not required; retire is handled by the RetiringPrincipal. Option D is incorrect because creating a new grant is unnecessary when the existing grant already has the correct RetiringPrincipal.
