Privilege escalation attacks can be executed in several ways depending on the access an attacker has. One reason attackers have easy access is?
Privilege attacks are just easy to put in place
Firewall services are inadequate
Employees do not always use complex passwords
User accounts are difficult to verify
The correct response is employees do not use not always use complex passwords to protect their accounts. This is an easy entryway for the attacker to enter into privilege escalation attacks.
I would argue that option B "user accounts are difficult to verify" could be an answer as well. In fact, it's much more likely that someone gains escalated privileges by using or finding an unused or "forgotten about" account much more than cracking a weak password.
