Reviewing risk analyses sounds relevant, but I wonder if that's more about planning than actual monitoring. Is that option D?

I feel like stakeholder approval is more about communication than control, so I'm leaning away from option B.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about updating the procurement plan being important. Could that be option A?

I think monitoring the supplier's performance is crucial, so maybe option C about examining performance reports makes sense.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. Holdover. If the dock is locked and the base station can't get clock signals, it should go into a holdover state to maintain timing.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to think through the different network access scenarios and potential issues that could be causing the problem. Might be good to review my notes on common network troubleshooting steps.
