Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Emergency change
Why it's wrong here
Emergency changes may be fast-tracked and approved by a smaller group.
- ✓
Normal change
Why this is correct
Normal changes are non-standard, requiring a full assessment and authorisation process due to their potential impact and risk. Consequently, these changes necessitate formal evaluation and approval by the Change Advisory Board (CAB). The CAB's primary function is to assess the proposed change, its risks, and benefits, ensuring all stakeholders are considered before authorising its implementation, directly addressing the stem's criterion for CAB approval.
- ✗
Minor change
Why it's wrong here
Minor changes are typically standard.
- ✗
Standard change
Why it's wrong here
Standard changes are pre-approved and low-risk.
