The correct option is Identification then Authentication then Authorization then Accountability.

This sequence is correct because the system first receives the claimed identity and then verifies credentials to confirm the claim. After authentication the system enforces permissions with authorization. Finally the system records actions and retains logs to provide accountability and support audits.

Authentication then Identification then Authorization then Accountability is incorrect because you cannot verify credentials before an identity is presented. Authentication validates a claimed identity so the claim must come first.

Identification then Authorization then Authentication then Accountability is incorrect because it attempts to grant or check permissions before the identity has been verified. Authorization should occur only after authentication to avoid granting access to an unverified actor.

Authorization then Authentication then Identification then Accountability is incorrect because it reverses the required order and tries to grant permissions before establishing and verifying who is acting. Permissions depend on a known and authenticated identity.
