Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Configuring model weight encryption in the secure vault.
Why it's wrong here
Model weight security is a technical control, not the initial governance assessment step.
- ✗
Setting up a model drift detection dashboard in Azure Machine Learning.
Why it's wrong here
Drift detection is part of the operational lifecycle, not the pre-training impact assessment.
- ✓
Executing an automated data lineage audit using Microsoft Purview to verify data provenance.
Why this is correct
Data lineage and provenance verification are mandatory under AI governance frameworks to ensure training data integrity and compliance.
- ✗
Performing a sensitivity analysis on model output latency.
Why it's wrong here
Performance metrics are post-deployment or during tuning, not a pre-training governance requirement.
