A Windows administrator needs to create 50 new user accounts for a temporary project team. The usernames are in a CSV file with columns 'FirstName' and 'LastName'. The administrator wants to write a PowerShell script that reads the CSV and creates each user with a username in the format 'firstname.lastname'. Which approach correctly uses a loop and variables?

Use a 'do-while' loop that calls Import-Csv inside the loop until a counter reaches 50.

Use Import-Csv to load the data into a variable, then use a 'foreach' loop to iterate over each row, building the username from the row properties and calling New-ADUser.

Use a 'while' loop that reads one line from the CSV file at a time using Read-Host until the file is empty.

Use Get-Content to read the file as a single string, then use a 'for' loop with a counter to split the string manually.
