ITIL 4 Foundation — Question 230

Which is CORRECT about change authorization?

Answer options

• A. A change authority is assigned each time a standard change is requested
• B. Emergency changes are authorized by the technician making the change
• C. Assignment of the change authority is based on the change type and model
• D. The change authority will ensure changes are authorized after they are deployed

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct as the assignment of change authority indeed relies on the specific type and model of the change being proposed. Option A is inaccurate because change authorities are not assigned for every standard change request. Option B is incorrect since emergency changes typically require a higher level of oversight and authorization. Option D is also wrong because the change authority's role is to authorize before deployment, not after.
