You limit access at all times during employment, you wouldn't want to give a heads up of terminating somebody, and as soon as they are terminated they need to be walked out of the facility.
The answer is A.
I have yet to see a person who was laid off or fired go through an exit interview, and I have seen hundreds of people laid off/fired in my career. My only thoughts to B is what if the person doesnt have any access to begin with? Either way its a bad question.
Also, that is a great example of how you must pick the BEST answer and not necessarily what you have experienced in real life.
I had picked B because I just didn't that an exit interview was all that necessary. I didn't like B either but it seemed the best one to choose.
If someone is terminated, and holds a grudge, it is much more difficult to hold that grudge while also playing normal in an exit interview. By tying participation in the exit interview to severance, it helps dissipate some of the drama.
It also gives HR an opportunity to gauge whether the terminated employee is likely to present a threat, and advise departments accordingly. Remember, CISSP is also about physical security. You can't just think like a technician or from just a "protect the bits" mindset. The CISSP is all-encompassing.

A. Should perform an exit interview
B. Should limit computer access
Both answers (as written above) would be acceptable - however since answer B includes "potential" it seems like they are trying to lead you to select A.
The exam at times can test your English skills and ability to read the question closely. Taking practice questions can help you get good at finding the root of the question because it's definitely very different than a lot of technical exams out there. Once you get the skill down it will make answering the questions easier assuming you know what the CBK states.
B is incorrect since you would revoke all access.
C is incorrect as prior notice of termination is not required by FLSA, unless that employee is under contract or part of a union. (Outside the scope of the exam)
D is incorrect because of obvious reasons
This question is an example of the which of the 3 category.
My understanding of Termination is that it happens on the spot(Person to be terminated is given no prior notice), hence options C & D can be removed instantly.
If you are a security manager and decide to terminate an employee, you would want that person to finish his/her discussion with the HR and walk out. Hence makes no sense to provide any sort of access so option B is also the incorrect one.
