Answer options

• A. changes must still be documented and captured.
• B. the risk associated with the change is not evaluated.
• C. a change control board should be established.
• D. changes can be applied without further managerial involvement.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because even in emergencies, proper documentation of changes is essential for accountability and tracking.

Option C is not applicable in an emergency scenario where immediate action is needed, and option D contradicts best practices since managerial oversight is important, even during emergencies.
