Correct answer & explanation
✓
Use CI Change Request to link CIs to change requests.
Running CMDB Health Verification helps identify stale or incorrect CIs, ensuring accuracy. Using CI Change Request links CIs to change requests, automatically updating status. Option B (creating a business rule) is a custom approach, not a standard best practice. Option C (Data Manager) is for bulk updates, not accuracy. Option D (CI Class Manager) enforces class hierarchy but does not directly ensure accuracy after change management.
