Wait, statistical sampling? I’m not sure that’s the best choice.

Observation of data entry? Really? That seems outdated.

Statistical sampling could be useful, but I can't recall if it's the best method for this specific scenario.

Observation of data entry sounds relevant, but I feel like it might not cover all aspects of application controls.

I remember practicing with a question that emphasized the use of test data for verifying application controls. That seems like a strong option here.

I've got this! The control files are opened, and the consistency of the database is checked. I'm pretty sure those are the two main actions.

I feel like we did a similar question about specifying resources in a deployment; could it be "replicaCount" instead?

I've got a strategy - I'll eliminate the options that are clearly specific to one staging mode, and then see which two are left that could be common across all three.
