ITIL 4 Foundation — Question 282

Which of the following statements about change authorization is CORRECT?

Answer options

• A. Every time a standard change is requested a change authority is assigned
• B. The technician making an emergency change can authorize such changes
• C. The change type and model is the basis for assigning the change authority
• D. Ensuring that changes are authorized after their deployment is done by the change authority

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the change type and model indeed determine who has the authority to approve changes. Option A is incorrect as not every standard change requires a change authority to be assigned. Option B is wrong because while technicians can implement emergency changes, they do not inherently have authorization power. Option D is inaccurate as the change authority typically ensures authorization before deployment, not after.
