Answer options

• A. Assess completeness of the data inventory.
• B. Establish business thresholds.
• C. Identify the data owner.
• D. Define data quality rules.

Correct answer: A

Without knowing the completeness, other assessments like business thresholds, data ownership, or quality rules may be based on incomplete information, leading to ineffective evaluations.
