Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
First identify the configuration item, then control changes to it, then record its status, then verify it, and finally report.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because PRINCE2 defines configuration management as a cycle starting with identification (baseline), then change control, status accounting, verification, and reporting.
✗
First control changes to the configuration item, then identify it, then record its status, then verify it, and finally report.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because you cannot control changes to an item that hasn't been identified yet; identification must come first.
✗
First identify the configuration item, then record its status, then control changes, then verify it, and finally report.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because recording status should happen after changes are controlled, not before; the status reflects the current version after change management.
✗
First identify the configuration item, then control changes, then verify it, then record its status, and finally report.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because verification should occur after recording status to ensure the recorded state matches the actual item; recording status comes before verification.
