Disabling the account is the most appropriate action to ensure that the account remains intact but inaccessible until the colleague returns. Locking the account or changing the password could be temporary solutions but do not guarantee the account remains unused. Deleting the account would remove access to any resources or data associated with it, which is not desirable for someone returning to the company.
