An organization uses SSO authentication for employee access to network resources. When an employee resigns, as per the organization`s security policy, the employee`s access to all network resources is terminated immediately. Two weeks later, the former employee sends an email to the help desk for a password reset to access payroll information from the human resources server. Which of the following represents the BEST course of action? 

Answer options:

A. Approve the former employee`s request, as a password reset would give the former employee access to only the human resources server.
B. Deny the former employee`s request, since the password reset request came from an external email address.
C. Deny the former employee`s request, as a password reset would give the employee access to all network resources.
D. Approve the former employee`s request, as there would not be a security issue with the former employee gaining access to network resources.
