The scenario asks us to identify which security process failed when a hacker uses your network password to access the network under your identity.
Option 1: authorization. This is about determining what a user is allowed to do after their identity has been established. It does not describe the verification of who the user is, so citing authorization as the failure here misses the point of identity verification.
Option 2: identification. Identification is the assertion of who the user claims to be (for example, presenting a username). While related, the key issue in the scenario is whether the system properly verifies that the user is who they claim to be, not merely that the user has announced an identity. Therefore, identification alone is not the correct failure in this context.
Option 3: authentication. Authentication is the process of proving who someone is. If a hacker can gain access using your password, the system either did not properly verify the password or did not securely enforce the authentication step, indicating a failure of authentication.
Option 4: auditing. Auditing involves recording and examining system activity for security and compliance. It is not the process by which an identity is verified, so it does not describe the failure described in the scenario.
