Answer: A
Verification will ensure that production orders match
customer orders. Logging can be used to detect inaccuracies,
but does not in itself guarantee accurate processing. Hash
totals will ensure accurate order transmission, but not
accurate processing centrally. Production supervisory
approval is a time consuming manual process that does not
guarantee proper control.
