Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
A rollback plan
The essential components of a change management policy include a rollback plan (to revert changes if issues arise) and approval from the change advisory board (CAB) to ensure proper oversight. Vulnerability scanning results and automated patch deployment schedules are not policy components; they are operational activities. Emergency change procedures are a specific type of change, not a fundamental component of the policy itself.
