Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (CPACC) — Question 51

Answer options

• A. including a contractual penalty for inaccessibility.
• B. requesting an accessibility conformance claim in writing.

• D. verifying product accessibility.

Correct answer: D

Options A, B, and C involve contractual measures that may not guarantee the accessibility of the software itself, thus they do not directly address the risk as effectively as actual verification.
