B.
Add the user to the Power Users group
C.
Upgrade the hard drive of the users computer.
D.
Disable all auditing on the user’s computer.
Explanation:
As the security log is full of the events occurring on the computer, it is clear that auditing is enabled on the system. You must disable all auditing on the users computer to resolve the issue. Answer options A and C are incorrect. By upgrading the hard drive of the computer, you can assign some more space to the security log but this will be a temporary solution. The security log will be filled up again because auditing is enabled.Answer option B is incorrect. Adding the user to the Power user group will not solve the problem because auditing is enabled on the system and events continue to be stored in the security log.
