Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Why this is correct
RBAC ensures that users only have the permissions necessary to perform their jobs (least privilege).
- ✓
Transparent Data Encryption (TDE)
Why this is correct
Encryption at rest is a standard compliance requirement to protect data against physical theft.
- ✓
Audit logging of DDL and DML operations
Why this is correct
Auditing is mandatory for tracking who did what, a key compliance requirement.
- ✗
Disabling transaction log backups
Why it's wrong here
This would prevent point-in-time recovery, which is a compliance failure.
- ✗
Automatic plan cache clearing
Why it's wrong here
This is a performance maintenance task, not a security or compliance task.
