Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
OBJ. 1.8 - Job rotation helps reduce the risk of fraud and insider threats by preventing employees from having unchecked control over sensitive processes for long periods. This practice limits opportunities for unethical behavior, such as financial fraud or data manipulation. While skill development, specialization, and work-life balance may be indirect benefits, the primary security advantage is the prevention of fraud and malicious activity by ensuring multiple employees oversee critical functions over time.
