Answer: D
The best source from which to draw any sample or test of
system information is the automated system. The production
libraries represent executables that are approved and
authorized to process organizational data. Source program
listings would be time intensive. Program change requests
are the documents used to initiate change. There is no
guarantee that the request has been completed for all
changes. Test library listings do not represent the approved
and authorized executables.
