What does the MAC access control model use to identify the users who have permission to access a resource?
  1. The role or responsibilities users have in the organization
  2. Labels
  3. Access Control Lists
  4. Predefined access privileges
Explanation
Answer: B - The MAC model uses labels to identify the users who have permission to access the resource.

Key Takeaway: The Mandatory Access Control (MAC) model is a static model that uses a predefined set of access privileges for files on the system. MAC uses labels to identify the level of sensitivity that applies to objects. When a user attempts to access an object, the label is examined to see if the access should take place or be denied.
