Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Increasing the memory of the production server.
Why it's wrong here
Resource allocation is a deployment step, not a promotion gate.
- ✗
Updating the project's documentation.
Why it's wrong here
Documentation can be updated independently of the deployment.
- ✓
Automated performance validation against a hold-out test set with defined threshold gates.
Why this is correct
This ensures the model satisfies quantitative quality criteria before reaching production.
- ✗
A peer review of the training code.
Why it's wrong here
Peer review is important, but not sufficient as a final gate.
