The least privilege rule is about giving users only the permissions they need to perform their tasks, without extra permissions that go beyond what is necessary. Option B, giving a group Read permission to a folder with policy documents that they need to read but not change, is a direct application of this principle. It restricts permissions to only what is necessary (reading), without allowing additional actions (like modifying) that are not required for their role.
