Correct answer & explanation
✓
The user must reauthenticate every time they access the application, and session monitoring is enabled.
The sign-in frequency is set to 'EveryTime', so the user must reauthenticate every time. The cloud app security is set to monitor only, so session monitoring is enabled but not enforced. Option B is wrong because the session is not blocked. Option C is wrong because frequency is every time, not every hour. Option D is wrong because cloud app security is explicitly enabled.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
A company's IT admin needs to give a contractor read-only access to production logs without sharing account credentials. Using role-based access control (RBAC) and temporary scoped permissions — not a permanent shared password — is the correct pattern. Questions like this test whether you can apply least-privilege access across cloud identity services.
