Companies can set predefined thresholds for the number of certain types of errors that will be allowed before the activity is considered suspicious. The threshold is a baseline for violation activities that may be normal for a user to commit before alarms are raised. This baseline is referred to as a clipping level.
The following are incorrect answers:
Clipping levels enable a security administrator to customize the audit trail to record only those violations which are deemed to be security relevant. This is not the best answer, you would not record ONLY security relevant violations, all violations would be recorded as well as all actions performed by authorized users which may not trigger a violation. This could allow you to indentify abnormal activities or fraud after the fact.
Clipping levels enable the security administrator to customize the audit trail to record only actions for users with access to user accounts with a privileged status. It could record all security violations whether the user is a normal user or a privileged user.
Clipping levels enable a security administrator to view all reductions in security levels which have
been made to user accounts which have incurred violations. The keyword "ALL" makes this
question wrong. It may detect SOME but not all of violations. For example, application level
attacks may not be detected.

The other answers are components of the maintenance activity of software life cycle models.
In general, one can look at the maintenance phase as the progression
from request control, to change control, to release control.
*Answer request control is involved with the users requests for changes to the softwarE.
*Change controlinvolves the analysis and understanding
of the existing code, and the design of changes, and corresponding
test procedures.
*Answer release control involves deciding
which requests are to be implemented in the new release, performing
the changes and conducting testing.
